The Gonzalez Classic reeds are designed for the musician to quickly adapt to it, because they have a cut that has been used by most manufacturers (i.e. Vandoren Traditional style), but using the slightly longer aged cane that is present in all Gonzalez production and often yields more consistent reeds.
They have a typical filed French cut, with a thin tip, that will be suitable for those types of mouthpieces with French style rolling facing curves (5RV, B40, B45 etc). They have a fairly thin tip for easy response on these types of mouthpieces.
For those experimenting the Vandoren equivalent = Traditional Blue Box. Please use the strength chart alternate image for help with choosing the correct strength for you.

Gonzalez Classic Bb Clarinet Reeds : Boxes of 10 Reviews
Anonymous review via Feefo - 2024-10-27
Fed up with Vandoren Blue reeds, which I've found inconsistent, so tried these and so far I'm happy.

I seem to be getting on better with this box of Gonzalez Classic clarinet reeds than the previous box of a well known brand that a lot of people use. For me, the strength of the Gonzalez reeds is more consistent and I get a nice tone with them. I get a higher number if reeds that I can use straight from the box without alteration.

Good reeds for the price but maybe not up to the quality of The Vandoren Reeds. However for the price good value for money.
