Re: Decent professional mouthpiece

I bought a box of "hand selected" reed direct from VD at Rue Lepic must be at least 25-30 years ago. I can't remember being overwhelmed by the contents when I got home and tried them, no worse than or better than the regular boxes as I recall.
Mind you I had chance to hand pick and test play reeds at their HQ back then but when I got back to UK and tried them I don't think my selection was significantly better than the average box either. The test room was highly resonant and full of young conservatoire students blowing their hearts out so testing conditions far from ideal.

I hear they now give first study students 3 free boxes a month instead.

Have never heard of the hand selected range since then either.
