This review is from: Vandoren CR5025 56 Rue Lepic Bb Clarinet Reeds – Strength 2.5
After going to my Grandson’s first solo performance and being judged one could tell something wan’t just right. After the performance the judge asked if he could work with Dennis, he then tweaked the ligature a bit and adjusted the reed and still it didn’t sound up to where it could be. So the reed was removed and he saw that the reeds that the school offers were the least most expensive reeds on the market Rico 2.0 and recommended the Vandoren Rue Lepic 56 Bb clarinet to start out at 2.5 and move up from there. These reeds work great right out of the box no adjustments need to be made to the reeds what so ever. The other nice thing about these reeds they seem to last for ever. I say this because 1. you need to have a good reed case and 2 you want to rotate your reeds daily. So Dennis started out with 4 reeds and is still using the original 4 he started with back in October and going strong. The sound that comes form the clarinet now is strong and when you need to tongue a note the airflow is not cut off so the note disappears while playing it. Dennis was a 3rd chair clarinetist but after playing these reeds for the last 4 month’s has moved up to share a place with the first chair and will be going to the state band concert in the coming months to perform for the state wide title for 7th grade band. Might I mention this is a special education student who also has ADD with a touch of Autism and band has really help him focus his skills the last 2 years.

I started playing the clarinet again after 30 years of inactivity. I never thought I would have so much trouble with reeds, including other Vandoren products. I think I have purchased every brand out there and have not been satisfied. This brand, (I use the 2.5) and the Rico Reserve Classic, seem to play well right out of the box with good tone. I still sand them and try and break in over a few days. Overall, the tone I get seems superior and the playability better than other brands.
