So, this makes Selmer the O.G. reed maker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eI'm actually a big fan of these reeds and have been playing them pretty regularly — I haven't given up my favorite V12s, but these are really, \u003cem\u003ereally\u003c\/em\u003e good, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eI did some acoustic testing on these reeds, so I can put into words how they're different from Vandoren reeds, since I figure most of you are wondering. Here's what I came up with, after looking at things like \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Spectral_centroid\"\u003eSpectral Centroid\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mathworks.com\/help\/audio\/ref\/harmonicratio.html\"\u003eHarmonic Ratio\u003c\/a\u003e to describe the two reeds. Here we go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOverall, the data showed that the \u003cb\u003eSelmer Reed\u003c\/b\u003e produces a brighter, more refined clarinet sound\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewith cleaner harmonics but a mellower fundamental.The \u003cb\u003eVandoren Reed\u003c\/b\u003e produces a woodier, more complex clarinet sound that's slightly darker overall but with more textural richness. My ears agree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBut since these may be new to you, as always, feel free to buy single reeds—I don't charge a premium for breaking up a box, so you can just buy a few, or mix and match. \u003cstrong\u003eSeriously no one else does this. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFor those doing math, I price these reeds as \u003ci\u003eone-tenth \u003c\/i\u003eof a normal box of 10 reeds.
