Re: V21 vs. D'Addario Reserve [Classic]

I've been playing on the on Rico's since I got my Prestige Bass, It came with a Concert Select Thick Blank as a trial in the case and I fell in love with it. I then bought a box and never went back, did the same for my clarinet. I switched over to both the Rico Reserve Classics for Bass and Clarinet when those came out and the D'adaario Reserve when they switched them over last Summer.

Since Vandoren started the "flow packs" the individually wrapped cases I just.. haven't felt the same about them, I just think it does something negative to the reed.

But as always when a new type of reed comes out I'll buy them just to try them. I was actually really really surprised at the V21's. They play really well for me right out of the box. I even went and put some of them in my reed case, which hasn't seen a Vandoren reed in 8 years.

I honestly think the V21's are the best thing to come out of Vandoren in a long time, not saying I'll switch off because I LOVE the Reserves but they're in my opinion the best Vandoren reed.

Just my thoughts!
