For now I am back with a new box of Vandoren blue. The Gonzalez GD have not worked out- I think more because of changes in my own technique than anything else. From Paul Aviles I got advice a while back to tighten up my embouchure (without biting), which has enabled me to play with higher resistance... not to adjust my reeds quite so compliant. And that was a good move with this latest new box. Better control, more consistent high end... all that stuff.

The GD's were all too soft (from my adjustments)- I clipped one to bring it back up, and adjusted it some, but it still played out of whack compared to my working set of 10 blues. That's just as likely the result of my messing with it as an inherent problem with the GDs.

So that's my story this week. I really do think I'm making progress.

===========

Edited 9/21/2014--- After I corrected some leaks on my clarinet, and probably improved a couple of other things- I am now using BOTH Vandoren blue and Gonzalez GD. I am leaning long term toward the blues, but only because of tone quality. Both types are quite playable.
