I've been using Java reeds on tenor for years and rico royal on soprano. I just changed tenor mouthpieces and needed a different reed and these are working out great. The quality control seems pretty good and these reeds just seem to speak real well for me.

  • Rico Reeds Rock!
Size: Strength 2.0 Style: 3-Pack
After a 20 year hiatus, I recently started playing my Tenor Sax again. The decades old 3.0 reeds in my instrument case seemed very stiff and unresponsive. Maybe it's their age, or the fact that I am starting over, so I decided to go back to 2.0 reeds I used as a student. I have always used Rico Reeds, as they were recommended by the man I purchased my first sax from at age 13. It was an Alto, and the man was a retiring professional jazz saxophonist of 40 years. I figured it was the best advice I could possibly get, so I bought Rico's. I have tried others, but always went back to Rico. The 2.0 's are working very well for me, I am extremely pleased with them!! And, of course, you can't beat Amazon's price and service! ... show more

  • the BEST.
Size: Strength 1.0 Style: 10-Pack
These are MY reed of choice. Even before the fact that these are the best priced reeds on the market. But, before I came to that conclusion, that these reeds are the best for me. First, I got a good reed file. I think it was $30, I dunno, it was a gift. But to make for an excellent reed, there can be NO air leakage between the reed and the mouthpiece. And even though, these reed say they are, filed. It is not good enough. That work was done on some assembly line somewhere. It is NOT acceptable, to me. ... show more
