    • Very Nice
Size: Strength 3.5
Talking about reeds one has to mention also the mouthpiece. In my case it is Vandoren V16 B9. I have several others, but haven't had time to try them yet. I'm going upwards in the numbers trying to get more of that Mulligan type of sound I'm looking for. In my mind I thought that harder reeds could help. And, yes, the 3.5 reeds really got me closer. The best effect was from the Ricos, but the Royal and Hemke came very close. The Hemke had a bit "softer" or "muted" sound. I'm not a fan of such an open/hard tip opening vs. reed combo, but so far it seems to work OK. I also wanted to try D'Addario reeds as I recently faced some "endurance" problems with Vandoren trad No. 3, which should be close to these. I was positively surprised by the Rico (orange box), which people tend to downplay frequently. I've heard that they are identical to the LaVoz reeds (which I generally like). In any case, to me it was a good buy and an interesting study. ... show more

    • Less expensive and More in the package
Size: Strength 3.0
Unlike the Clarinet reed that requires a little more finesse. My son says there is not that drastic of a difference with the Baritone Sax.. I am figuring that since it is a larger reed, it a bit more forgiving. So for all of you parents out there that are probably spending a mint, Like I am, to keep your son's Baritone working nicely. Here is one instance you can actually get away with a little more bang for your buck. Here is one instance where you can pick up something for less, and it does not diminish the instrument's ability to sound nice. Keep in mind that if your kid plays Jazz. There are reeds for Jazz playing. We have not played any with that, but I am sure we are going to. Jazz is next semester. Keep that ONE variable in mind, if it does exsist, to be sure you are ordering the right type of reed for your child. P.S. Saw the review for the guy who says they break faster. I talked to son about this aspect. He said, "Ricos are considered a beginers' reed. They are (maybe) a little bit softer." He said that they do not require quite as much "air" as a Vandoren and they will give more "sound" (he hates it when I say noise) with less air. You might want to consider stepping up a half on reed harness with a Rico reed. If you are using 3 reed, you might want to consider stepping up to a 3 and half to get more plays out of it. They both cost the same, just a step up in hardness for the reed. Only dissavantage is that Ricos might be a tad more brittle. Son says that his Rico reeds did not exactly split like a Vandoren. They Chipped, making them harder to play. Not good if you are having to do a performance. He said they could work for practice, but are trash if you are going to be performing. The chipping aspect of the reed prompted me to downgrade from a five star, to four. ... show more

After purchasing box after box of the Vandoren bari sax reeds (5 reeds in a box), we have discovered that these reeds (10 in a box for about the same price) are better for his (12 yr old bari sax player) needs. I had purchased a box of them a while back hoping (since they were cheaper) that he would be able to use them and Voila! my wish came true. Now I just hope he can stick to them! Hate buying a box with only 5 for $35+ ... show more
