Poor quality. Bitter taste. Mildew quickly. Went with a better brand and did not have same issues.

These affordable reeds play well enough for any amateur.

Using for hobby/practice. Probably won’t use for performances though.

A one-star rating is too high for this kind of junky reed. This should be given negative infinity stars!As you can see in the pictures, the tip was not at all cut properly, and very uneven. Reeds are supposed to match the profile of the mouthpiece which is standard. This reed fails at doing so. Then, when I compared it with my ReedGeek table, I saw that slope of the reed was also poorly cut. It leaves a very pronounced at the heart which causes the tip to bend (look at the 5th picture).Some reeds in the box also appear to have the bark extend into the tip of the reed, which should NOT happen at all.This company clearly does not know how to cut reeds (or even how to program a machine to do it) and it is guaranteed all reeds that you'll receive in the box are just splinters of wood. Even Rico Reeds sound like Legere reeds compared to these ones.For those wondering how they play? Well, they sound horrible! That's the result of poor craftsmanship.

I haven’t used budget reeds before, and I can’t say these have converted me. The edges are boxy and odd, and the reeds aren’t very consistent. They didn’t do well on the high and low notes with my setup. Fine I guess for some more basic practicing. I gave it 4 stars because realistically that’s what should be expected at this price point

I'm generally a fan of budget saxophone reeds and I've used a lot of them from different makers. There are few things more annoying than putting a $3 reed onto a mouthpiece and immediately chipping it. These are certainly budget reeds that should be well suited for practice sessions.I've photographed one of these "LightStar" reeds side by side with a famous brand's more costly product. Notice the edge cut. It's more squared off at the edges and shows a noticeably thicker cut (although both reeds are 2.5 strength).I would not use these without some reworking -- trimming and filing, although expending that degree of manual labor on finishing a packaged, customer-ready product defeats much of the purpose of budget reeds.
