I have been playing the Clarinet for 9 years, this is the best reed I have found. It gives a great dark tone. A 3 size reed is to small for me, where a size 4 reed is almost to thick, the 3.5 is perfect for me. Vandoren 56 Rue Lepic Bb Clarinet Reeds, Strength 3.5 Box of 10

Great reeds. However they are very inconsistent. Order 10 and you get 2 great reeds 2 okay reeds and 6 crappy ones. I would recommend Rico Royal Reserve reeds.

These Reeds are great. They help make getting a wonderful tone much easier. Unfortunately for me I didn't need a whole set of 3.5 reeds but paying $32.10 for Vandoren 56's you easily get your money's worth. I went (As a Guinea Pig) to a Band Teacher Convention on teaching beginning clarinetists how to play 16th and 32nd notes as well as proper tonguing technique and last but not least reeds. This brand Vandoren came highly recommended by the person presenting and they also said that they start students out with 2.5 and then move them up directly to 3.5 reed strength(Help the student with proper breathing). I have used this brand for 2 or 3 years now and highly recommend it to anyone that has been playing more than a year on Rico Reeds I wouldn't buy these for a student that might drop the instrument after a year as they are more expensive. I find that with this strength you can get 3 full octaves plus a few notes above High C easily, and then pound out a couple more above that.
