Oh, this blows!!!
See what I did there?
do not buy these for anyone you care about
They work great for mixing and spreading glue.
Came here just to see if the Simpsons reference was made yet.
ooh good call
Why not?
this is a terrible brand, even for beginners, and it’s really frustrating to try to play when you spend the whole time fighting your reed. this was years ago but i started on mitchell lauries before moving to vandorens. i personally wouldn’t recommend them but i think even rico royals are probably better than these (and they are not great).
Rico is the brand my kid’s band teacher recommended 
Rico reeds are fine to get started with, don’t worry; Glory are simply terrible.
I agree with @renatuslives. Plenty of band directors and others start beginners off with Rico, but students generally move beyond them as they get more serious.
