Mouthpiece Work / OT: Has anybody tried these Korean-made synthetic reeds?

SUBJECT: OT: Has anybody tried these Korean-made synthetic reeds?
(Not quite OT, since we are always dealing with the mouthpiece-reed combination) Of Korean manufacture, but beyond that, very little info can be found, and so far, I have not found any user reviews online. While I realize that preferences are very individual, comparisons with other synthetic reeds might be helpful. On ebay: http://tinyurl.com/neuqaq5 On amazon: http://amzn.com/B00CE1GFI4 As can be seen, there are white and black versions. The white is described as having "clear tone", the black as having "soft tone" which (I guess) means a darker sound. Barry Levine

I'd be very surprised if they sound like anything but a synthetic reed. On Thursday, November 27, 2014 8:39 AM, "Barry Levine barrylevine@...

I stumbled across those & wondered the same thing.
