Has anyone tried Marca’s synthetic reed- Unic? Two different styles and both clarinet and bass (and saxophone) covered. If so, any views?

Thanks

I never heard of this synthetic brand before so I did a search on the Internet...

Oh my...$40.00 and they come in only strengths 3 & 4.

Maybe they're less expensive elsewhere...

Looks like there are two variants and not just 3's and 4's.

Not sure how they are made.

The factory issues them in a wide range of strenghts, but what makes it through the distribution channels is another story.

I thought Unic was the commercial vehicle division of Fiat.
