Standard reeds, bit of a lottery situation

Kappadegoodboi 04.12.2020

I've been using these reeds for more than 10 years for jazz, balkan traditional, classic and free style.

They are pretty good but not excellent. What bothers me is that only one out of three reeds are well balanced. Most of these need some treatment before getting "there". There are online guides for reed treatment and adjustment, I strongly advice you check them.

Every time I get one of these packs of ten, I open all of them and try to play them for about ten minutes to half an hour. Two to five reeds are easy and smooth, the rest are usually hard and stiffer than a 2.5 should be. Sometimes the other way around.

Check some of the more expensive reeds, Vandoren V12 is my choice. Definitely experiment with other kinds of reeds according to the style you perform.

But yeah, these are OK reeds. Still using them.

The price is good too.

tl:dr
Pretty good reeds, good price, not all of them are 10/10, it's like scratching lottery tickets, most need adjustment but they all get the job done

My son started playing Clarinet a year ago and tried all different kinds of reeds. Some were better than others. but the Vandoren Classic Blue, he found to be much more durable and easier to play with.

Consistent Vandoren

It's the classic blue for a reason - you know what sound you're going to get from the blue reeds. I have been trying out other reeds like the 56, but I do keep the blues on hand for concert band.

Good classic reed

Michel B... 19.11.2022

I find this to be a good, dependable reed. I find it doesn't sound quite as good as the Vandoren V12, which is my favourite, but I'd recommend it nonetheless.

Good reeds

Michael W. 151 29.05.2016

My wife is the clarinet player and she tells me that these are good reeds - though she prefers the 'Vandoren 56 Rue Lepic 2.5 Bb-Clarinet ' - feeling that they are a bit purer.

That said, she was happy with these reeds until Rue Lepic ones arrived.

She would still recommend these, depending on the players 'taste'.
