You get what you pay for
A Greek Tenor Player 19.12.2025
Weird reeds... cut so sharply at their edges one of them actually cut the side of my lip while vibrating on a low Bb. Buzzy, faded sound, sounds more like a student or a practice reed, something only you would bear hearing. Definitely not for shows and performances, as it's the exact opposite of reliable. Out of a box of 5, only 1 reed was worth practicing on. Note: I did resurface the reeds to give them a second chance, but it just made horrible reeds turn to bad reeds. Still, not worth it. A reed box should have mostly "practice" reeds and 1 or 2 good performers. Stick to Rigotti , D'Addario and Vandoren, they're well known for a reason.

Eine Riesenenttäuschung
Phonomono 25.05.2023
Nach meiner Begeisterung für die Local Jazz empfahl mir ein Kollege, doch einmal die Malbec zu probieren. Das war ein Fehler.
Von den 5 Reeds waren 4 fehlerhaft und mit Riefen und anderen Ungleichmäßigkeiten nur so gespickt, die auch eine sanfte Schleifbehandlung unmöglich entfernen konnte.
Das verbliebene Blatt gefällt klanglich sehr gut, macht aber das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis in keinster Weise wett.
Da lobe ich mir die Local Jazz, bei denen der Käufer schon großes Pech haben muss, wenn mal ein Blatt nicht ganz so perfekt funktioniert.

Estas cañas combinan una excelente expresividad con un comportamiento muy estable durante varias horas, y entre caña y caña no noto diferencia, la calidad es muy constante. El precio es muy correcto.

Ottimo rapporto qualita prezzo. Su 5 ance 4 hanno suonato perfettamente da subito. Se devo trovare un difetto non sono sigillate all'interno della scatola ma in sacchettini aperti. Non ho trovato comunque impurità.
