 Reed suggestions for Peter Eaton mouthpiece
Author: MarkW61

Hi,

I use a pair of Eaton Elites with a PE mouthpiece, in Peter's opinion he thinks the Vandoren Traditional 2.5 reeds work the best with his mouthpieces. My problem is that I find the 2.5 a little soft and the 3 too hard. The shape of the cut of the Vandoren reeds does suit the mouthpiece curve well. After reading some glowing reviews of the Gonzalez GD reeds I decided to go for the 2.75. Sadly I have been very disappointed with the quality and tone I'm getting, I have broken them in as mentioned many times on this forum(5 minutes per day etc). Also these reeds have a squarer cut and don't follow the curve.

My question is do I stick with the variable quality of Vandoren reeds and go for perhaps a Rue L'epic or jump to Rico Royals or even Peter Leuthner French cut reeds?

Any advice would be appreciated as I am rehearsing Mahler 5 and would like to get this sorted out fairly soon.

Thanks,
Mark
