As a first impression, it's really easy to blow, yet, the sound is tight enough. I feel my breath is directly converted to the sound. The reed itself is a bit shorter than regular clarinet reeds. I also like this unique appearance!

I very much like the response of this reed. I wish there was more consistency in the strengths. One can be very hard, one can be too soft and some are just right. Overall they work well on both my Vandoren M13 lyre and my Hawkins.

These reeds got me through University and totally changed the game! Great for traveling gigs

I'm a student clarinetist, and I was getting tired of my cane reeds always warping and trying to control humidity and all that, so I decided to switch to synthetics. My previous experience wit them wasn't great, but legere reeds worked really well!!!!!!! I think the French cut works best for my current setup (Vandoren M40 mouthpiece). They are not completely perfect (I find it is a tiny bit more difficult to maintain a pure tone at softer dynamics), but in my opinion their consistency causes them to easily exceed cane. Also the fact that they do not dry out is really helpful when doubling, or waiting before a performance. And I do save time by not having to break them in too. Overall I really like them!!!!!!!!!!

Never thought I'd be a fan of synthetic reeds but these have proven me wrong! Articulation has never been so easy without giving up tone quality.
