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.
