From what Phil Shapiro - Miami Symphony - has told me the Gonzalez reeds are patterned after the old Moree cut. I find them to be very good but there is a disconnect in my clarinet history and I only have vague memories of the old Moree reeds. It could be like living in Syracuse N.Y. during those years that I tend to forget the bad (103 inches of snow in 3 days) and only remember the good parts - Moree reeds and snow skiing.

As in anything associated with playing the clarinet, one should try it for themselves and make their own evaluation. Phil and the Davie Cane people are very nice to deal with - unlike some instrument manufacturers and reed companies that will not respond to questions or constructive criticism - maybe because they are the new kids on the block and really care about customer service. They were at the Oklahoma Clarinet Symposium (sorry I missed it) and perhaps some of the BB folks can give you their impressions from their trial reeds.
