The box is empty, and the reeds have not been test-played. There are 6 reeds of each type, for a total of 12. I've been using these for a while, but I have other reeds I want to try, so I'm putting these up for sale. I think these reeds are easy to play for beginners in the wind band. How about them for practice? The box will be folded, and the reeds will be shipped with cushioning material.
