For my mouthpiece, these reeds are the gold standard. D'addario's manufacturing process and marketing strategy results in much more consistent reeds than Vandoren (who have admitted they pack their reed boxes with reeds of varying strength for "variety"). Furthermore, this specific cut of reeds (Reserve Classic/purple box) has a much crisper articulation that allows for less effort of the tongue compared to Vandoren's V12 cut.Many clarinetists prefer V12's for their tone quality, but more often than not a discerning player will find less "useable" V12 reeds than that of D'addario's Reserve Classic cut. If I had to describe the sound quality of these reeds, it would be "bright, pingy, and focused." Comparing them to V12s again, the Reserve Classic cut has less "body" of sound, or what I would presume to be less mid/low frequencies. Furthermore, D'addario's RC cut tends to run a bit softer when compared to a Vandoren V12 of the "same strength (i.e. if you had two reeds, both strength 3, the D'addario would feel softer).For those looking for more consistency and greater ease of articulation in their reeds, I would recommend trying these! I keep both V12s and Reserve Classic reeds in my reed box, and regularly perform on both. For those playing on Vandoren's Black Diamond mouthpieces, I would highly recommend trying these reeds out.

Un peu plus douces que les vandoren v12, moins d'harmoniques aigus, bonne pâte sonore
