i just got a new box of reeds a couple weeks ago -vandoren v12 size 3, and i pulled out 5 to start breaking in, and i took out the other 5 last night.

i usually play each one for a few minutes and line them up according to how well it played for me.

as i was lining up my reeds last night, i was thinking about what GBK said about vandoren making the reeds in 1/10 increments. thats means there would only be 1 actually size 3 in the box. the rest would be 3.1 or 3.2 etc... so i was thinking, they HAVE to make so many of each one to put in the box. so why cant they just # them on the back like that? instead of size 3 on all of them, which arent really all a size 3. put the actual #. AND, if they have to make so many in each size just to fill a box, why not just sell them in such small increments? then we all could find the exact size thats best for us, whether it be 3.4 or 3.8 and just buy that size and then all of them would work well.

is this possible? what do you think GBK?
