Despite the experimentally verified longer life of the current Hohner
classic reeds, people have of course also blown out reeds on the MB
Deluxe. I've trashed quite a few myself. However, the MBDL is not
being sold on the basis of unsubstantiated claims about the longevity
of the reed material. Nothing lasts forever. Like any other material,
stainless steel will fatigue at some point. The louder and more often
you play, the sooner this is likely to be.>

Dave, I didn't say that Seydel had claimed the 1847 would last 
forever. Their catalogue uses the term "very long durability" and the 
widespread public speculation on the subject of the longevity of the 
1847 reeds is surely not hurting sales. In answer to Farky's question 
and your response (and the lack of any other comments) I wrote that 
yes, to my knowledge there are documented instances of these 
stainless steel reeds fatiguing.
