Gonzalez GD Bb Clarinet Reed : Boxes of 10

I like these reeds as they have a nice sound, although I find I have to adjust them but at least the spine is cut centrally. I mainly weaken the top of spine (too strong on most reeds as Tom Ridenour remarks in his ATG video) and the result is very unresponsive lower joint notes, especially the bell notes). You don't need the ATG kit, just some 200 to 400 grit wet n dry paper with strokes about 45 degrees to the spine to balance the 2 sides of the reed. Stay away from the 1st cm of the tip end.

I had one of these reeds in the mixed bag of reeds, so now have taken delivery of a box as impressed with them, lovely sound and seem to last well.

Consistency of product. A typical box of Gonzalez reeds has very few, if any, duds.

I have just acquired a new mouthpiece for my B&H 1010 clarinets, and I am like a boy with a new toy! So now I am trying different reeds. The Gonzalez GD reeds suit me very well. Every reed in the box produces the same free blowing quality with a pure and rich sound. What a discovery!

This is the first time I've bought Gonzalez GD reeds. I'm still playing them in. But they all work, which is great compared to D'Darrio or Vandoren. The sound I am producing is better than with my old Vandoren V21.

Very consistent reed and I can get a good sound from them.

First class . They are very good once I found the correct strength

High quality cane, very flexible.

Have been using these for a while, always good consistency and can use all the reeds in the box.

Tried these on a B45 mouthpiece as they were recommended as a good alternative to the V12 reeds. I ordered a slightly softer reed than I would have, but actually they are too soft, so I'd say they do equal the V12 strength. All these reeds play really well straight out of the box (unlike V12's which I find only some work nicely) So far, I'm convinced by them!
