This is a good deal, as they are pricey reeds, but so worth it!

The Rico reeds I bought at the local music store seemed nice enough... at first

The reeds were great

Love these reeds, I hate cheap reeds as they are hard to play but these give you that jazz sound and also easy to play.

This was by far my favorite reed

After several weeks the cheap Chinese reeds get too weak to play, but the Vandoren's hold up.

So this is the way to get your perfect reed.

My favorite reed on a #7 Jody Jazz DV Mouth Piece

The V16 and black Z reeds, for me, sucked

The best jazz reeds I personally liked (Java red)

They didn't account for the fact that when you start out, you need a softer reed

Overall, good reed

All the reeds were decent.

Looking for the right reed

Vandoren reeds in general are awesome couldn't ask for better reeds

My son said these reeds are a little too hard for his jazz mouthpiece

This is a good deal, as they are pricey reeds, but so worth it!

This reed was my least favorite

this is a pretty good mix, cause every saxhophonist needs to find the perfect reed, to obtain the better sound, each saxophone is diferent, each player is diferent

No big deal since the quality is still decent, but someone grabbing the package wrong could have easily broken the loose reed.

Got to try famous reeds and find the one you like

Vandoren makes the best reeds in the business, hands down

He recently started to wonder the effects from various changes such as mouthpiece and reeds

From their descriptions, I thought I'd like the Java Red the best, and was going to just buy a box of those, but I saw this and wanted to try them all to make sure I got the best chance at finding a good reed for me

Good reed but had a bizarre taste that gave me a headache

inexpensive way to evaluate the multiple options of reeds available from vandoren

For me, I am not terribly found of the V16 or ZZ cuts, but I do like the red and green Java reeds

These Van Doren reeds are all "weaker" than their Traditional reed, so if you play a 3 strength Van Doren Traditional these Jazz reeds are rated closer to 2.5 for most, and maybe 2.75 for the V16.If you've only played on a Rico standard reed, it's noticeably weaker than all the Van Dorens, so make sure not to order too high a strength number

The sound quality for the two usable reeds was fantastic
