I just purchase 5 boxes of V16 Tenor reeds. (From Weiner Music - excellent customer service by the way) Typical 5 Reeds per box. The boxes arrived today and they are HUGE. I open a box and each reed is individually wrapped in a seal pack - like a candy bar.
IT'S CRAZY - I rather have 15 reeds for the same price and Vandoren can keep of the fancy packaging. These reeds are amost $2 each and probably 2 of the 5 will really work. The other 3 will need adjustments.
I don't care if reeds are FRESH.
I had the same issue with Alexander reeds. Love the reeds but way TOO expensive. Keep the metal tins and just send the reeds.
