Review: Helps eliminate squeaking - A great find for beginning players. My middle-school daughter tried it at home first, loved it, and took one to school to ask her band teacher if she could use it in her school instrument - and he's happy with it too. We all seem to find that she achieves a much more uniform tone with this, and in a high humidity region, that's a definite plus! As an added bonus, it seems to have a longer overall lifespan too than an untreated reed. The only complaint was that "they taste funny" on the first use.
Review: Good - Unlike the normal wooden tongue, the soft sound does not leave splinters like the normal wooden ones, I tried them once and did not exchange them for anything.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rico makes good stuff
*by E***R on November 29, 2014*

I love these reeds. I carry around mouthpieces to check student instruments when they say they're having a problem playing. The plastic coated read makes it possible for me to pretty much put on the mouthpiece and play almost immediately. The quality is good. The price is a little high.
