In a shipment of two reeds, one plays great (ergo the high rating) but the other is barely playable. Fortunately the good one tends to last until the following shipment.
(From the buyer's daughter who the reeds were bought for)
I love the reeds so much - they're super well made and work incredible. When I tried to work them in, I realized that they were a little too hard for the level that I'm at, but I 100% recommend them and will be buying a couple different types to see what works best for me
