Who cares what reeds they use? All that shit evolves during a career of playing. As your chops get stronger, you will change up reeds. Everyone that play professionally has their own evolution of artistic thought. Worry about yourself, and take in as much as you can from records, and teachers.

Thats a pretty inacurate comment quinsanity Phil plays on Lavoz reeds and has ever since he saw Cannonball live along time back.

try getting a richie cole signature meyer (this is an exact copy internally of his vintage NY meyer) then have it refaced by someone and it is likely to play very well - perhaps not quite a genuine NY meyer but fairly close and a few hundred dollars cheaper.

Both Phil and Dave play V16 reeds.

Phil definitely has more "bop vocabulary" then Dave. But to say Phil rips the piss out of the end of Dave's solo is a bit exaggerant. Phil basically started where Dave left off. It's NOT a competition, those days in jazz are way over. If you don't see that your looking at the music at the wrong way.

Yea those old Meyers were made out of 100% dental rubber, unlike the mixed material crap current ones are made out of

You can try eBay, but you will have to pay a small fortune!
