3.0 out of 5 stars
"okay" reeds, November 9, 2007
This review is from: Vandoren Traditional Bass Clarinet Reeds #2.5, Box of 5 (Electronics)
These are usually the recommended "step-up" reeds for woodwind players. The quality of these reeds are mediocre at best--there are maybe 2 good reeds out of a whole box, even after you adjust them through filing and sanding. When you get a good reed from the box, it can produce a great, warm tone, but it's a rare event. When I first used them I thought they were the greatest things on the planet...until I tried other reeds. Vandoren reeds are okay, maybe as a substitute until you can order your favorites. As a step-up, Rico La Voz are better. I'd also recommend Rico Grand Concert or Reserve, as well as Gonzales.
