I really love and mostly play fibracell reeds, because they always play very well, have got the same response everytime, are reliable, and all of this right out of the box. A little minor can be that the longer you play the softer or more flexible they become, bud this is the least, because they dont need to keep humide, dont need to be humide, wont break orso when you accidentally bump them into something, they last longer with less to no care; and when they do need replacement, the new one will be its twin so plays and feels just the same. AWESOME
