    • Very good reed
Style: Strength 3.5
This is a stronger reed so not for someone just starting. Better for a second or third year player. Good reed that last longer than cheaper ones. I tried others but we stick with these now.

    • Not easy to break
Style: Strength 2.5
I bought them for my daughter who plays Bass clarinet at her middle school. She loves them because they do not chip because they are plastic and they are easy to use. They really last long than the wooden ones.

    • 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

    • Sounds better
Style: Strength 3
When using other brands for my daughter's bass clarinet, the sound is VERY different. These provide a clearer and better sounding note than others

    • Defective Product
Style: Strength 3
Out of the 5 reeds, three did not work good at all. I understand that not all wood is going to be perfect, but a 60% failure rate is unreasonable. I normally buy cheaper brand items for my son, but hr'd born begging me for Vandoren Reeds for over a year and I had promised his when he advanced enough I would. This has just been a very disappointing experience. I don't feel I can recommend these to others at this point. ... 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
