Re: Inconsistency in Reeds

I recently switched from V12s to the new Aria reeds and their consistency and ease of playing is amazing to me (out of a box of 10, 8 were usable and all very similar in quality, and they feel like a softer reed in response, but hold up on the high notes!). I also tried them for my 10 year old son and he sounded better than on Vandoren blue box 2s (out of 5, 3 were good and 2 were probably just too hard, since Arias start at strength 3). Then I sent some to my 90 year old dad who started playing again a few years ago after many years away and was complaining to me about having trouble with his Vandoren reeds. He called me yesterday to tell me how great he found them. He tried two different strengths out of the box and both worked well for him. I wonder what they are doing to make them so consistent, that Vandoren and others don't?
