   I find that the medium-hard types are the best from lesher, the tone is better, the guality is better, and they break in farely easily.

   Unacceptable for anyone above 7th grade. alright for beginners, but not for anyone older. When you make your own reeds, you begin to realize just how (for lack of better words) crappy machine made reeds are.

   I’ve had two great Lesher reeds. But 6 or 7 duds. The duds are so flat and totally unfixable. Who can afford to throw ten bucks out the window over and over again?

   Good reeds for beginners and amateurs. I’ve gotten some really good reeds from MKL and some good practice reeds as well. The cost is affordable and the customer service is very good and personable. A good find for the cost!

   Best reed for the price that I have found. Once my teacher tweaks it, I have found that I can get a fairly dark and round sound.

   1st year player: The ML Pro reeds have windows and a heart. They are cheap. I have a medium in use since January. It’s shot, but I hated to give it up. They play right away, but wear in better. I can play soft on my new one.

    (Returning student. Not too good yet.) I bought one medium-soft and one medium. Both were leaky and I had a very hard time not playing flat, eventually resorting to a trim which shortened the tip more than I’d have liked to. Still, the tone was quite nice for an inexpensive reed, so I might try them again as they are readily available nearby (Twigg Musique, Montreal).

    The only thing about these is I find I’m having to order a higher strength…but maybe it’s because I’ve started to get more muscles…who knows so don’t go on this comment alone…because they still seem to play the best without too much soaking and no goosey sounds either!!!

    Why is ADVANTAGE-USA.COM not listed? ADVANTAGE brand oboe and bassoon reeds are reasonable and work well.
