Re: Sample box of different strength reeds

Dan: let me emphasise I don't think Vandoren are doing anything wrong in terms of consistency. You can take 2 reeds that feel the same strength on one mouthpiece and have them feel rather different on another. Every lay is different, and emphasises different parts of a reed, so whatever automatic strength assessment they do is unlikely to come out uniform for one individual player. I haven't found much difference in this respect between the different Vandoren makes (or other manufacturers). I use the V12, because I prefer the sound that they make (from the best 2-3 in the box, which is all I ever use in concerts, even after a lot of adjustment).
