Hi,

I bought a Vandoren Reed mix pack and wasn't paying attention when I removed them from the wrappers, so now I can't tell the difference between the Vandoren Red and Vandoren Green.

They both say Vandoren Java etc.
The only difference is 250LC-WNUK and 14NER-Y925, which is the red and which is the green?

Regards,
Craig

One is filed and one is unfiled. Flip your reed's over, the filed will have a line in the middle near the vamp (part that begins the curve down towards the tip of the reed) where it is filed down.

Thank you for that.

Just to be a bit more specific, the Reds are filed, the Greens are not.
