I have VForce reeds but they are stupid expensive aren't they
Would the VForce reed petals fit in the Chinese ones ?

Nope. Not taking that chance. All that fake carbon and brittle plastic breaking up and getting sucked in. Nope.

I stock and sell them, they are £210 for a set of genuine VForce4 reeds for the YPVS, personally having tested reed blocks etc, I'd not risk it, or waste your money as the stiffness of the reed is extremely important and those are likely not to be correct and could introduce allsorts of issues/problems with running etc
just my tuppence worth........

They appear to be out of the original moulds by the look of them. Materials may be different. This is what happens when you get your popular items manufactured in China...they get sold through the back door and undercut you!

Been MY experiences that Chinese plastics can be Seriously sketchy.
I've experienced the polyethylene structure in a chinese made 'brand name' suitcase .. Crumble into bits..much like tempered auto glass does, on /about the things 3rd birthday.
Well beyond any alleged warrantee of course.
Surprising as 'real' Poly has for decades proven durable even as Vehicle fuel tanks. Albeit when of 1st world origin.
Feeling Lucky ?

Yes Dave is right again. I just measured the thicknes of the petals. Original 0,4mm China 0,6mm and that is a lot stiffer. Made some pics.  Left is china  |

I think TDR in the USA does reeds that fit the Vforce cages, might be a way to use the chinese cages, or are they also not to the same standard Marcel?

Well John I can’t figure out how to take out the petals. Looks like they are glued or thermo glued. Probably fixed the petals in the extruding process
If anybody has a hint how to swap the petals, i am willing to brake the chinese housing.
