  • Great Reeds, Great Sound, Even Better Price
Style: Strength 3
These are my son's favorite reeds! Since he has started playing musical instruments. These reeds last a good long while, were as other fall apart and fail. These will last most of the school year, my son is hard on them. They are also very affordable, I can buy five of these reeds for the cost of one at a local music supply store. And while I love supporting local shops when it comes to band for my son, I try and get the best and these are his favorite and best lasting one. Lets face facts people teen boys are not always careful with their stuff, my son sometimes didn't take the best care of these reeds and they still held up well and be a 3 was another plus as they are impossible to find in local stores. If you have a child in band in school I really suggest these reeds they hold up to children/teen use and abuse and you get every penny worth of use out of them. They sound great too. My son's band teacher loves these and suggests them to all his students. Your money is wisely spent with this product. ... show more

  • Cross your fingers that you get what you order
Style: Strength 2.5
Ordered Bass Clarinet Reeds, but received Tenor Sax Reeds that had been miss marked. I understand that the two are similar but this order was for a new student. Hopefully the replacements will actually be Bass Clarinet Reeds. Take 2 ended with one pkg of Bass Clarinet and one pkg of Tenor Sax Reeds.

  • Really Good Reeds for Bass Clarinet
Style: Strength 3
My son is using these Reeds for a long time since he was in elementary school. He started with clarinet and now upgraded to Bass clarinet and these works long time as compared to other brands. If someone wants to try new Reeds, this is a really good option for them. I will highly recommend this product to others. ... show more

  • Great Reeds !
Style: Strength 3
Bought this for my nephew in high school and he jumped for joy because he was the only one in his band class with different/better reeds the school provided! But das to say, I guess the kids were just so jealous, someone went into his bag one day and stole them :c

  • Jazz tenor sax player, on Vandoren bass clarinet reeds
Style: Strength 2.5
After hearing another sax player from Northern Idaho play on bass clarinet reeds, I decided to give it a shot. I've been playing on these for almost 9 months now. These reeds get a beautiful, bright sound on my tenor saxophone, and I love them for jazz band. In my personal experience, these reeds are much more consistent from reed to reed in a single box, and much more fun to play on, than any jazz or classical cut of tenor saxophone reed I've played on. I try to stick to tenor saxophone reeds for classical playing, but I often find only two performance quality reeds out of the Vandoren blue box tenor sax reeds. I'm still trying to convince myself to try the size three bass clarinet reeds, to see if the harder reed will get a tone more appropriate for classical music, and still retain the consistency that I love about the 2.5's. ... show more

  • Nothing but Vandoren for me.
Style: Strength 2.5
Vandoren reeds are my go to reed. I just started playing the clarinet 2 years ago after a 40 year break. Before deciding the brand I should use, I did a lot of research and found that most professionals recommend Vandoren. I also play the Bass clarinet, Vandoren reeds for that too. It never dissapoints. ... show more
