    Mitchell Lurie Premium Bb Clarinet Reeds, Strength 3.0, 5-pack

    • Can put them right on clarinet and get good tone with ease
    • I switch to a V12 when I need to play something with a better quality, darker tone...but I have to admit, the majority of these just play better out of the box than a Vandoren, and I get a lot more compliments on my sound when I use these.
    • Even beginners will probably move to Van Doren reeds soon enough, Mitchell Luries are very soft and don't produce the best tone
    • Nice tone
    • These reeds have a slightly thinner tip for ease of play and quick response and articulation and are unfilled for a deep dark tone
    • More comfortable, smoother tones and better durability.
    • my son only uses mitchell lurie reeds for the money good sound and tone
    • They also provide a much nicer and warmer tone than your average reed
    • These reeds do in fact allow for nicer tone
    • I think I produce a better tone with Gonzalez reeds which are somewhat stiffer but are not as readily available.
    • Four of them played beautifully, with good tone, but the 5th - it was noticeable thicker than the others and I couldn't use it
    • They are well cut and produce a good tone
    • I want tone, great tone from my students, and so I want the highest strength each student can handle
    • I frequently recommend Mitchell Lurie reeds to my students because they are responsive and have good tone at an acceptable price.
    • These reeds, paired with a Portnoy mouthpiece give a nice round concert tone
    • Your chosen strength will vary, but I've had good luck playing these on my Vandoren B45* -- great response, tone, and articulation and not as much resistance as Vandoren reeds seem to exhibit with my setup.
