These reeds play amazingly well, producing a rich tone and clear sound

This brand, (I use the 2.5) and the Rico Reserve Classic, seem to play well right out of the box with good tone

Gives me .a dark, lovely tone

#1 they do provide superior tone and #2 they last much longer that the reeds they sold at school

Overall, the tone I get seems superior and the playability better than other brands.

These provide a nice mellow tone and are a higher quality reed and I have enjoyed each one so far.

I like the pure, centered tone and the ease in transition between partials (from the lower notes into the altissimo, etc).For professional/college

They help make getting a wonderful tone much easier

Their tone is amazing and the good-reeds-to-bad-reeds ratio per box is way higher than other brands.

They're consistent and don't require too much adjustment, they produce a nice tone and are very responsive

I've been trying reeds out for awhile now starting on a Rico Royal strength of 2 and a regular Vandoren strength of 2 and I will say that I've played on Vandoren V12s and I enjoyed those but these are absolutely beautiful giving out a rich and balanced tone they are much better, in my opinion, than the

The box was pretty consistent so this is probably the best reed to use for a dark tone user

Produces rich, warm, dark tone while still allowing good staccato using medium-closed mouthpieces (e.g., Vandoren M-13 lyre or 5RV.

I did not get the promised "darker" tone as were advertised

It gives a great dark tone

While they are good reeds, and can produce an excellent tone, I've moved on to synthetic reeds, which I find work significantly better and more reliably for me

It gives a great dark tone

Vandoren V12.This gives a dark tone which I personally don't like

Produces rich, warm, dark tone while still allowing good staccato using medium-closed mouthpieces (e.g., Vandoren M-13 lyre or 5RV.

The grand kids both playing Clarinets use to play the cheap reeds they supplied at school, after one competition the judge told us that if my grand sons were using these reeds they would get better tone from the horn and excel in their music playing abilities so we purchased them and now they will not go back
