Hi Dutchy --
I played mostly Evans reeds when I was first playing -- they are really free-blowing and responsive (at least, the ones I got were), though a bit on the bright side. Last year at this time, they were my "reeds of choice".
As Winstondawg has said, Kerry Willingham at http://www.reedmaker.com is a very good source of eminently playable reeds. I have never played his "student" reeds (which he sells for $10 a pop), but I see many positive comments on his site from those who use them. I play his medium-hard pros all the time now. They offer the best combination of ease and good color of any reed I have tried, play well high, and don't balk on the low notes at all. When I started using Kerry's reeds, I began getting all sorts of amazed compliments from listeners and conductors about my playing. They are my "secret weapon".
And the very best part, as Winstondawg has said, is that Kerry GUARANTEES every reed. You don't like it -- he makes you another one. He is very accessible and involved, and will work with you to craft just the right reed.
If you will contact me directly (my email address is available by clicking my name at the top of this post), I would like to send you a couple of reeds. No big deal -- just my way of "paying forward" some of the help I was given.
