The professional reed had an ok tone, but it was nothing special. The student reed wasn't very good. Also, you have to get on a customer list to continue ordering. Not really worth it.

In the past, as a student, I used a reed from Reliable that was sold through Weber Reeds. At first, they were marvelous. Then they started to have quality control issues that culminated in the only unplayable reed I have ever received. I stopped using them. I recently ordered both a professional and student reed from them. The student reed honked and is next to useless. The professional reed is better but marginally so. The reed closes readily (no, I don't bite), the tone was barely acceptable and low notes barely spoke. The bottom line is that I will never order a reed from Reliable Reeds again!!!

They play evenly in all registers and produce a warm tone. Because they are so remarkably well-defined, they do not last as long as I would prefer. No question, though, they are every bit as "reliable" as promised. These reeds are always immediately playable. They play evenly in all registers and produce a warm tone.

I don't generally play on hard, open reeds so these tend to be a bit scraped out than most but are immediately easy to play. The opening has a tendency to close up quickly so they don't last real long. But I like playing them, I like their sound and they work well for me.
