Re: Anyone familiar with both Aria and Pilgerstorfer Dolce?

I have the ATG system and do tweak most of my reeds. The Aria 4s barely need anything for me because they start rather soft. My question, though, is if I want to try the Pilgerstorfer, how does it compare with the Arias strength-wise? Is a Pilgerstorfer 4 going to feel as soft or softer than an Aria 4?

I could order the 4 and try, I suppose. I hate to waste money, but if they are too soft I could always give them to my son, who currently plays an Aria 3.5. But if anyone knows how the two reeds compare strength-wise, please let me know.

If it matters, I play a Gregory Smith 1+ mouthpiece. I don't remember the opening but it is "medium" and optimized for a V12 3.5, although I found a 3.5+ (3.75) to work better in that brand, for me.
