However, not all that hard to adjust to and the tone is darker and richer

They give me a darker tone yet I am able to get some bright sounds out of it

the tone is a nice warm tone.

Excellent tone and control.

My Daughter loves these, high quality, smooth tone!

Excellent reeds, with a lovely, mellow tone.

Much more consistent than other vandoren models (like v12) in tone quality, rich, easy to play
