I think goodtone guild offers a pretty good bang for your buck when you buy in bulk. The reeds are pretty consistant and the wire, if you choose the wired reeds, can be slid down or twisted off.

Edmund Nielson reeds are also another inexpensive reed option if you can only buy in small number.

There was a time when Meg of goodtone only offered wired reeds, but she started to offer non-wired out of peer pressure <g>. I think she picked up the wiring of reeds from when she went on to study and perform in Europe (bio). The purpose of the wire seems to be for longevity of the reed, as the reed closes with age you can just pull the wire up. The alternative would be pliers or a new reed.

Goodtone reeds are in the focused/dark category of reeds, which so many are.

I prefer reeds with a touch of that farting bedpost charm and a dash of sweet velvet.

Though my flatulent source of reeds shall remain a secret.  ;)
