Gonzalez RC Eb Clarinet Reeds 3.0, 10 reeds per box. For Eb clarinet. Individual sales are possible for 2 or more reeds, so please consult in the comment section. Purchased online from Kurosawa Music Store on July 22, 2025. I tested only one reed. The test time was less than 5 minutes. After the test, I lightly wiped the surface with a tissue soaked in Klang Multi Cleaner, rinsed it with tap water, and let it air dry. A peelable tape is attached to the tested reed (please check image 3). Although it's an old package and the cane was harvested in 2010, it arrived wrapped in film from the store, and I didn't feel any particular problems with the appearance or playing feel. 【Impression after testing one reed】 Overall, I think the playing feel and tone are similar to D'Addario Reserve blue box reeds. It has a bright and brilliant sound, a classic tone often sought after for Eb clarinet in classical music. It's a bit mellower and has a more core sound than the D'Addario blue box. Although it's an unfiled cut, the response is quite outstanding, and I personally highly rate the ability to control articulation and expression as desired. However, unfortunately, the tone was not my preferred type, so I decided to sell it. The thickness of 3.0 felt about the same as D'Addario blue box 3.0. I've only played one reed, so the degree of individual variation is unknown, but based on my experience playing multiple Gonzalez Classic reeds of the same rank, the individual variation is smaller than Vandoren Traditional or V12, but I got the impression that there is some variation compared to the D'Addario Reserve series. So, I think the same is true for these RC reeds.
