Re: Vandoren V12 change?

Just for all of you "young'ns" out there, Vandoran reeds have always been "inconsistant", even back when I started playing them in the 1960s. We had to go through boxes to find the few "good" ones and it seems, that is the only consistant legacy Vandoran has been able to maintain. Packaging, cuts and quantanties change, but cane still grows the same, fiborus and inconsistant.

I am now convinced, more than ever, that synthetic is the reed for the future, if for no other reason, the material is more consistant and lasting. It definately takes a lot of the needless effort out of clarineting--that is, working on reeds. More time to work on technique and music.
