## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it possible to get a refund because i play regular 3 reeds and these 3s are too thin?**
A: I don’t see why not. Try using the refund process here on amazon. You can take it to your local Kohl’s for return and refund if they accept it

**Q: Description says guitar starp, but video and picture show clarinet reeds?  Is this product clarinet reeds?  If so, what size?**
A: Yes it will ship as size 4 Vandoren clarinet reeds. The item title is more important than the incorrect description.

**Q: What is the difference between these and the Vandoren Juno reeds?**
A: The Juno Reeds are said to be cut for a beginning reed player. The CR103's are for a player who has passed the basic beginning stage. However, I played using the CR103's as a beginner and they seems to work better for me than the so-called beginner reeds.

**Q: Are these round or straight where the reed starts to taper?**
A: The tip it rounded to match a mouth piece. The bottom (upTo where out trappers) is slightly rounded but the entire Reed is flat against the mouthpiece. This brand of reed has excellent sound. I highly recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sounbd and thickness
*by H***E on January 31, 2026*

My daughters favorite brand of reeds - refuses to use any other - last due to thickness and she says they have a great sound.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This leads to the search for the best reed possible
*by A***R on September 12, 2017*

As any clarinet player would agree, the most important aspect of producing a quality sound is the combination of a player’s mouthpiece, embouchure, and reed. The central anchor to any combination is the reed, without a quality reed the other two factors are heavily affected and your sound suffers. This leads to the search for the best reed possible, a task made difficult by the numerous options between brands, strengths, and styles. The enormous variety of options can leave beginners unsure of where to begin. Vandoren reeds end that search by providing a reed that gives you a superior tone, and ability to control your volume, without taking away your control and detracting from your range. Vandoren is a large company with plenty of experience in this field, so you can trust that the product you receive will be of a quality make and produce a quality sound. I have ordered reeds from them for several years now, and I have never experienced a problem with the packaging. Each box always arrives sealed, along with the individual reeds inside being sealed as well. While every reed manufacturer seals their reeds in a unique way, I believe Vandoren has the best technique. The package is easy to open and remove the reed from, yet still durable enough that you can store the reeds in the plastic covers they come in if you do not use a reed case. Not only is the packaging Vandoren uses great, but the reeds themselves are manufactured well. All of Vandoren’s reeds are made from quality cane, with precise and flawless cuts. I have not seen a Vandoren reed come out of the package chipped, nor have I seen them cracked. All of Vandoren’s reeds are cut using a “French file cut” as opposed to a regular cut that their competitors use. While this cut may cause the price to rise a few dollars, it allows the reed to produce a faster response time a darker, fuller tone. Each reed that comes out of the box has a clean “U” shaped cut that you can clearly see. When held up to the light any reed, no matter the brand, should possess certain qualities. When held up to light you should clearly see a “V” shape going from the tip of the reed to the edge of the cut. Most Vandoren reeds have this “V” centered, exactly where it should be. Every Vandoren reed is also guaranteed to be cut so that the grain of the cane is even, resulting in a steady tone. Unlike other brands all Vandoren reeds possess the golden yellow color which serves as testament to a reeds age. These minor differences in cuts and quality of cane might not make a large impact on newer players sound, but it creates a noticeable difference and eases playing when a more experienced player who knows how to take advantage of these traits plays on them. Many people may notice the difference in Vandoren reed strengths and other brands. While this does not affect new players who are not yet used to a particular strength, it might come as a surprise to more experienced players who assume the strength is the same as other brands. A good rule of thumb is that Vandoren strengths are usually ½ to a full rating higher than other brands. One problem that novice players should be made aware of is how to return the reed to the plastic cover that it arrives in. Less experienced players should be careful when sliding the tip of the reed into the plastic cover so that the reed does not get chipped or damaged. Vandoren reeds clearly provide a superior tone and quality of sound when compared to some other brands. They will not let you down in the search for the best reeds, and can make your tone sound vastly improved. The features I have touched on all lead to the Vandoren reeds being a solid choice for both beginner players and experts, making them the perfect option for you.
