Ok, I guess I had bad luck. But this is vastly the baddest of my reeds. And I also use some "no-one-knows-this-brand-from-amazon" reeds.
I tried to be fair with MY PERSONAL IMPRESSION and EXPERIENCE giving the stars... ... but also my professor agreed with me.
NB my purchased unit has really squared angles on the tip and feel marked, you can say rough on its back, very sharp on its flanks. The part that has to sit onto the table is not smooth but has a visible mark of a "net". I do not know if it is how it is supposed to be but really it did not stand up to its name.
