Boyesen reeds enhance the performance of two-stroke engines by improving the intake airflow and optimizing the engine's breathing efficiency. They feature a unique reed design made from high-quality materials that allow for faster and more responsive opening and closing, resulting in better fuel atomization and combustion. This leads to increased power output, improved throttle response, and enhanced overall engine performance, especially at higher RPMs. By reducing resistance and turbulence, Boyesen reeds help maximize the engine's potential across various operating conditions.
There may be a couple of reasons. The reeds may be either too thin or too thick for you to play with. Or, it's common to find "bad reeds" in a new box of reeds, yes I know, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Even when the box of reeds is the same thickness there are little variations in the cut that can make one reed play better than another. It's customary for clarinet players to either throw away some of the "new reeds", fix them or simply use them only to study.
I suspect you are referring to single reeds (clarinet and sax) and double reeds (oboe and bassoon).
Clarinet reeds come from cane.
At flavorreeds.com -- They have an assortment.
Brass instruments do not have reeds, some woodwind instruments do.
