But remember the fact that reeds are plants and not one grows the same and produces the exact same tone. I am not a professional and I'm still trying to get an ear for a good tone but every reed will vary.( ;) If the reed comes pre-packaged as used then that would be a rip-off haha.) In my experiences I have had quite a few "bad" reeds that are somewhat hard to get a good tone from. What do you expect out of almost 8 years on clarinet :P . Anyhow, best of luck to you the next time you purchase a box of reeds. :DSun, 02 Jan 2011 21:57:52 GMT~*KLB4*~http://www.daddariostrings.com/Discuss/Topic35298-16-1.aspxAbout 4 out of 10 reeds choke after playing a few tunes. The store I buy from says it's been getting complaints from other sax players. Has anyone else had this problem.<br>ThanksFri, 28 Mar 2008 23:21:02 GMTjuju159
