Crappy Reeds

Over the years there were some lousy off brand reeds that would pop up from time to time, but now with Amazon and other online retailers it is staggering. In recent years I have had students show up from time to time with some of the current crop of junk. The results range from horrible to dreadful. The cane (? not really sure what these are made of) is horrible, green reeds that look as if they were harvested yesterday, really odd dimensions and cuts, you name it. No matter what the strength, they all seem to play like they are a .5 strength, either barely able to produce any kind of reasonable tone and most often sounding like a bad kazoo. Often they just collapse and are unable to produce much of anything. It is really scary that many of them have a number of online reviews and ratings which proclaim them to be great.

Here is a list of brands I recently found listed. Some of these names to to be randomly generated letters and look to be the same product.
