These are certainly an excellent way to get a lovely and powerful "German " sound without having to learn the German fingering system. The options of using mouthpieces with German reeds or French reeds gives more colors and options for personal preferences, because the included mouthpieces are designed to tune correctly with these instruments.
The keywork is very ergonomic and suitable for small or large hands.
