Re: Reeds

Years ago I played V12 4s in the San Diego Symphony, Ballet and Opera. I lyes off for 15 years and found that the V12s no longer worked for me. For a while I played Gonzales GD reeds, but then I couldn’t find them. Since then, I’ve settled on Pilgerstorfer Dolce 3.5-4.

Recently I discovered the “New” Gonzales GDs (3-3.25) and they look/feel/sound great. Out of a box of 3.25s 8/10 were great and almost identical. The other 2/10 were a bit too heavy. However these reeds are thicker/softer than most so they are easily adjusted. These may just supplant my Pilgerstorfer Dolces. We’ll see…

You might want to give the GDs a try.

Good luck!
