A really great reed - I usually get Howarth academy soft reeds, but I wanted to improve my sound quality. This was my first time trying this reed - and I got it only a week before a concert. I was nervous about breaking it in but I didn't need to be. This reed has a beautiful warm timbre and does not croak or squark - it is very stable, especially in the upper register, and perfectly in tune. It does require more support than what I was used to, but it is still very free-blowing and overall, creates a really lovely sound.
