I really love this reeds, not only do they always work, bud the sound they make i think is perfect, shiny and smooth. Also they get damaged less easily and last longer then real reeds and fibracel reeds feel amazing, because they have texture witch makes it feel more real / natural. A little less is when you play them for a long time on a row, they become softer and softer, untill they get too bendy, we are talking aboud around an hour of playing. Grts
