A bit stuffy as delivered, but good after a little scraping
Sadly I bought two of these reeds and both are not performing as I wished. One reed is already out of alignment and is splitting, although I have only used it three or four times. I have had problems with response despite soaking the reeds thoroughly before use. I completed the questionnaire in order to select a reed but on this occasion it has not worked for me. I am not a professional player but do play regularly with an amateur Orchestra. This is a lot of money to have spent to end up with two reeds which are not working as they should.
Really pleased with the reeds and service - would highly recommend
This reed gave a really warm, clear tone and felt responsive to play.
So far I am finding the reeds good. I am elderly so cannot manage a hard reed so it is useful to be able to get a softer one. I'll see how they last.
This reed is very responsive and easy to play, definitely on the soft side of medium. For me though, I find the tone a bit on the thin side. A friend has tried the reed with the same result..
This is my go-to choice of wire. A good balance of flexibility/strength.
I have used Urbach reeds for 50 years and I love them . The cane is far superior to other makes . Usually come ready to blow , just slight wire adjustment.
These reeds are well made and playable straight out of the box. Good attack at the bottom but also maintaining a good tone in the tenor register.

Quick delivery, excellent quality service!
