Back to Vandoren

It happened again.

Just for a laugh I put a Vandoren (no. 3 traditional) on my mouthpiece. And wasn't it just the loveliest thing I'd ever heard? I searched the archives and discovered half a box of them lying around. And wouldn't you know it, every one played?

This seems to happen to me every few years. Has anyone else had this strange experience?

My theory is this:

1. Harder Vandorens are better reeds (evidence: my friend had a no. 4 that must have lasted at least five years)
2. Because of (1), everyone tries to play Vandorens that are too hard for them (I know I used to).
3. This means that most people can only play a few in each box (the day I gave up playing no. 3 as a student and bought a box of 2.5 was a happy day - they all worked (but didn't last, see point [1])).
