Re: New reeds cut the Wright way...

Thanks, Ken! I've tried the Brios and still like the Arias better, but they're, for me, a trade-off. The Brios are easier to get around on, and I like the sound of the Arias better. They seem darker and a bit more centered. Back when I was a student, there was a sort of polarization between Marcellus and Wright, and it was based mostly on an "ideal sound" vs. being able do do incredible things musically because of the flexibility Wright had. I was on the Wright side then and probably still am, but also prefer a German-type sound. The Arias work well for that, and still have a lot of flexibility. If you compare either line with what we had available back then, we're fortunate either way.
