Joon,

My feeling is that getting one or two reeds out of a box of 10 is pretty
normal and part of the nature of playing the clarinet. Learning to adjust
the reeds a bit can be helpful too. If you want to try plastic, the Legere
reeds play just about the same each time, but to me they don't feel as good
as a selected Vandoren.
