Re: Eefer reed questions

I tried NOT cutting the ends off of Bb reeds to play on my Eb...not good. The sound is compromised. I just use a prism-shaped file and pliers to cut off the end. I've gone from using regular Bb reeds to the Vandoren White Master German Cut. However, Vandoren reeds are so inconsistent from one to the next, that I've not been overly impressed. I've ordered a box of Gonzales German Cut reeds and am anxious to compare them to the Vandorens once they arrive. My experience with Gonzales is that 10 of the 10 reeds in the box are very playable. I've not liked the Vandoren Eb reeds I've tried.
