I bought these reeds with a brand new Selmer prelude clarinet hoping I could teach myself to play the clarinet and get the nice tone I wanted.

BUT then I was afraid that I made a wrong purchase because I've been hearing that Vandorens are harder to play on and that they're actually half a strength harder than the other brands so I also purchased 2.5 and 2.0 Rico Royal reeds. 2.0 just sounded so buzzy. 2.5 was okay but it felt too soft on my mouth and looking at my tuner, the notes came out a bit flat. I finally decided to open my 2.5 strength Vandorens (and it is true that it is thicker and stiffer by a very very veeeery small margin) and after wetting the reed for about a minute in my mouth, it sounded so great! I played a perfectly pitched full scale the very very first time I tried it! I've had the clarinet for an hour and the Vandorens on for 15 minutes and I've picked up basic tunes already.

These reeds are very easy to work with, and they also maintain a good quality sound. For beginners this is an excellent purchase, though as time goes on of course you have to switch to higher reeds.

These are $34.00+tax here where I live. Can't beat this price, even on ebay. I will continue to buy them here for my daughter. These are a big upgrade from the Rico's she started with last year. Thank you Amazon for making music affordable.
