Not good for my beginner son. They may work for some kids, but all he did was squeak. He does much better with another brand.

I bought these reeds for my son when he expressed interest playing the clarinet. These are the exact reeds I began with myself almost 40 years ago! The 1.5s helped him ease into his first lesson with me. These reeds are very soft, so they are very easy to produce a sound without being winded. This also allows the student to work on his/her embouchure without puffing our their cheeks and biting too hard on the mouthpiece as they try to produce a sound. We didn’t get through half of the box before he switched to a harder reed, so we donated the rest to students at our local middle school. The quality is as consistent as you’d normally get from a decent brand of reeds, but be aware that when you purchase a box, you will have some that aren’t up to par. This is normal across the board. This reed, a good mouthpiece (Vandoren B45 series), and encouraging a consistent practice schedule makes for a good start.

My daughter is in her second year of clarinet in school (5th grade) and really prefers these reeds. They have a different brand of 2.5's at school and when she uses one of those she says her sound is inferior and more difficult.

My son is a beginning clarinetist and just got a box of these reeds. He had no trouble at all getting a rich sound with them and will keep using them. No squawking with these reeds!
