William...Now for the serious answer...
No, it is not you (I hope that makes you feel a bit better). I have also seen the quality of V-12's recently vary widely from beautiful coloration of the sound to absolutely awful. Much more than usual, and not even being able to save the lesser quality V-12's with my normal reed prep/balancing/finishing (which, after many years, I know is quite good).
As a result, for the time being, I have been playing more of the Traditional Blue Box, and a good number of Gonzalez FOF reeds.
During the humid summer months, I usually go back to the Vandoren Blue Box Traditionals anyway, as with having a thinner blank, the swelling due to humidity is more manageable.
I am still quite impressed with the Gonzalez FOF, and are using them more and more...GBK
