I will be odering some reeds and was confused about how the Evolution and Thick Blanks compare. Is the Evolution between the Thick Blank and Traditional? The marketing hype says all 3 have more heart.
Also I'm curious about how folks say the GCSs compare to trad vs V12 Vandoren and to regular vs Quebec cut Legeres.
For those who haven't tried them, the Grand Concert Selects are quality reeds that don't die very quickly, unlike other Rico reeds. So far they seem more consistant than Vandoren clarinet reeds. I only wish Rico made as good a saxophone reed!
It's been my experience the traditional blank GCS is a bit darker than a traditional Vandoren and works better on a legit type clarinet mpc.
Thanks.
