As we all know (woodwind players) getting a good reed is a matter of luck. Anyways this package is ok. I would say in a 10 reed pack normally I get 1/2 really good reeds, 3/4 that I can work with and also 3/4 that are really bad and don't even correspond to the thickness chosen, even though as a woodwind player I got used to practising with this ones too. Also, normally there's like 1/2 that are almost impossible to work with. If you play gigs I advise you to try them all in a row, number them and keep the good ones for a gig. Good luck guys
