## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it possible to get a refund because i play regular 3 reeds and these 3s are too thin?**
A: I don’t see why not. Try using the refund process here on amazon. You can take it to your local Kohl’s for return and refund if they accept it

**Q: Description says guitar starp, but video and picture show clarinet reeds?  Is this product clarinet reeds?  If so, what size?**
A: Yes it will ship as size 4 Vandoren clarinet reeds. The item title is more important than the incorrect description.

**Q: What is the difference between these and the Vandoren Juno reeds?**
A: The Juno Reeds are said to be cut for a beginning reed player. The CR103's are for a player who has passed the basic beginning stage. However, I played using the CR103's as a beginner and they seems to work better for me than the so-called beginner reeds.

**Q: Are these round or straight where the reed starts to taper?**
A: The tip it rounded to match a mouth piece. The bottom (upTo where out trappers) is slightly rounded but the entire Reed is flat against the mouthpiece. This brand of reed has excellent sound. I highly recommend it.
