Observation: I've just received some Gonzalez reeds and am trying them for the first time. The general concensus is that one should go down a half strength. I normally use a 2 1/2 Alexander DC so ordered number 2 and they are too soft - I would suggest that anyone experimenting with Gonzalez reeds go down only a quarter strength.
Questions: I seem to have trouble adapting to any reed that is not an Alexander DC. I think it may have something to do with the cut. You can't even get at DC 3 right now, they are all on backorder.
Can anyone suggest/name reed brands that have a cut similar to the DC.?
