I opened the small bag, but I haven't tried playing them. These are Vandoren E♭ clarinet reeds, V.12 (silver box), strength: 3 1/2. There are 9 reeds in the opened package. I accidentally bought these, thinking they were B♭ clarinet reeds. I took all of them out of the small bag and realized my mistake after using one. So, they are opened but unused. I will fold the box and wrap it with the reeds in bubble wrap for packaging.
