And is it as bad for Google searches with AI overviews?

Trying to see how much I can cut down on assignment giving/grading before having my first kid this summer. I’m hitting all of our department’s criterion and state standards, but I still feel the need to give some level of work at most times. Thanks for your input!

Hey all, I’ve been playing Francois Louis reeds for the better part of a decade now. They’re the most consistent and best jazz reed I’ve ever played by far. I’ve only been able to find them at Sax Alley near where I used to live in Loveland, Colorado, though, and I’ve since moved to the Midwest and can’t find them anywhere. I just bought 2 boxes from that same store to be shipped to me, and they were $70 per box of 10 with shipping. $7 a reed is crazy 😭

So my question is, is anyone familiar enough with them to recommend a similar reed? They’re unfortunately becoming harder to come by, and damn are they expensive. My backup is usually some variant of Vandoren, but they’re nowhere near the same to me. Thanks in advance!

Also… Am I the only one buying these reeds? 😅
