I tried all the most common Rico and Vandoren reeds, in different strengths until I found the setup that suited me best and the Vandoren ZZs were the ones I chose. They have a good solid low end and are not too bright in the higher register. They certainly give me the best jazz tone I am capable of producing.
Consistency is not good. The first 4 out of the box all sounded different, some hard to blow, some thin sounding and some fantastic. Maybe they will settle down when they have been played in.
