{"product_id":"daddario-organic-reserve-bb-clarinet-box","title":"D'Addario Organic Reserve Bb Clarinet Reeds","description":"\u003ch3\u003eNote: These are priced per reed. One of 'em. (Not a box. Though you're welcome to buy 10 of them, and I may just throw in the box for free)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRico reeds are what I started on. Back in the 70s, they were the big orange box of ree—wait a minute. They're STILL the big orange box of reeds that band directors reach into when a 6th grader walks in with a shredded popsicle stick of a reed that's in a coma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd then, like all the \"serious players,\" I moved to Vandoren and didn't much look back. Well, not true — I was intrigued by Rico Royal reeds, because, you know, Clarinet Geek Kid = Must Play Anything New Before Friends Do. But I didn't like them. Back to Vandoren.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut recently I've been... reed curious. And since I'd literally never tried one, I reached out to D'Addario, had a nice conversation with them, and they sent over a box of each reed line. I didn't have high expectations because I still have nightmares about orange boxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut DAYUM. I really liked them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Reserve is closest to the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/vandoren-bb-clarinet-reeds\"\u003eVandoren Traditional\u003c\/a\u003e — thinner blank, familiar profile. Fair warning: these run a touch harder than Vandoren. A Reserve 3 plays more like a Vandoren 3.15 (if that existed), so you will probably spend a little time with some sandpaper or reed knife. But just a touch. They come out of the box a little stuffy, but give them some time and a little work with a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/reed-plaque-clear-with-finishing-cloth-set-1\"\u003epolishing cloth\u003c\/a\u003e (you DO have one of our reed polishing cloths, do you not?) and they open up nicely. Consistency box-to-box is solid — no duds so far.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've been a Vandoren Traditional player your whole life and you're feeling reed curious yourself, this is your entry point.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"D'Addario","offers":[{"title":"2.5","offer_id":50775877320994,"sku":"ODCR1025","price":3.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.0","offer_id":50775877353762,"sku":"ODCR1030","price":3.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.5","offer_id":50775877386530,"sku":"ODCR1035","price":3.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.5+","offer_id":50775877419298,"sku":"ODCR10355","price":3.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4.0","offer_id":50775877452066,"sku":"ODCR1040","price":3.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/5799\/1202\/files\/DAddario-Bb-Reserve-reeds.jpg?v=1767828848","url":"https:\/\/www.earspasm.com\/products\/daddario-organic-reserve-bb-clarinet-box","provider":"earspasm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
