I've only just got my first LO and I think I'll be switching over
completely. They have a lovely positive feel, bends come in well.
Clean blow bends. What more do I want? They're a bit more expensive
than my Marine Bands (18 pounds against about 13, say $30 vs $20)
but you can actually get replacement parts and, I'm told, they last
a bit longer.
