Great. Most consistent reed maker!All reeds are made of cane, known as Arundo Donax. It is not wood or bamboo, but more closely related to tall grasses. It grows around river banks and lakes with moving water. It absorbs the water for growth and nutrients. It MUST be properly collected when the stalk is drained of water in the winter (dry season) and it must be drained and dried to avoid including biological and chemical impurities. The climate also affects its density, which limits where good reed stock can grow. Cane will absorb whatever is in the water where it grows.Good reeds should have a smooth vamp (shaped upper part) and have a golden- yellow or light yellow color without much variation. The bark can be of varied tone (glossy-looking bottom part). That's OK. You should not be able to see longitudinal lines or fibrous streaks on the vamp (part that goes inside the mouth). Green looking reeds have not been properly dried and drained. Throw them away. Grey looking reeds or ones with dark spots or streaks may have mold. Throw them away also. (This is highly unlikely in Vandoren or Daddario reeds).Good reeds are expensive. However, with proper care, you CAN make them last months.. or longer. Just teach your kids proper care skills. It's a wonderful way to teach being responsible.Always take the reed off after playing. Always put them back into the holder (or get a special case). NEVER touch the tip of the reed (I see kids do it all the time.. and they break the reeds). Practice securing the reed to the mouthpiece with the ligature without tripping the tip. Carefully wash the reeds with water once a week, wiping with clean fingers, bottom to top. And lastly, don't play one reed all the time. Have a few ready to go and rotate them. If you do this, or teach your kids, a box of quality reeds will last you a very long time... and you won't have to buy cheap non-reeds made in china..

Igual que con las cañas de sopranos, sonido robusto con muchos armónicos, cálido y resistencia pareja en casi todas las cañas.

2 daughters, 2 bass clarinetists, 14 total years of marching band and concert band......and one brand of reed. Vandoren is the only brand we use. Great durability and a beautiful rich sound.

Happy that I can get this type of reed shipped right to my door. These are the only reeds I use for soprano clarinet playing (classical and pit). Happy to report the Bass reeds are just as good. Responsive, easy to articulate and shape on. Recommended reeds!

Descriptif faux, la boîte ne contient que 5 anches et non 10 comme annoncé.Une belle arnaque de la part du vendeur qui au mieux vous remboursera l'article, mais en aucun cas honorera la commande.
