Re: New D'Addario Reeds

I agree completely with respect to the Behn Aria. They are the best. Close behind are the Peter Leuthner French Professional cut. Also very nice, and consistent. Before discovering these, I used to play Rico Reserve Classics, which were pretty good. But when D'Addario changed the branding from Rico to D'Addario, they changed the reed, significantly for the worse from my perspective. Haven't looked back.

If you go check them out, the Aria's run about 1/2 strength softer than either Vandoren Trad, or Vandoren V21. You can order a "combo box" with 5 each of 2 strengths.
