Probé varias cañas japonesas francesas pero en verdad esta caña que la uso desde hace muchos años no la supera ninguna otra que use

  • Give these things a try
Size: 2.5 Strength
I am writing this from the perspective of someone who is attempting to teach themselves to play tenor sax. The Kaiser instrument I have came with a 2.5 hardness reed of unknown origins, and the only music store in a relatively large radius of the house only sells 3.5s because "all the students are using 3.5s by the time they get to tenor". I was able to get some acceptable sound out of the original 2.5 before it wore out and cracked, but I find the rico 3.5s require more breath and force in the embouchure than is reasonable, tiring me out quicker than necessary. I picked up one of these 2.5 fibracells after reading about the durability of them and so far I am quite happy. Not only has this thing lasted day in and out through my daily sessions like an absolute trooper, I find that this reed is very easy blowing. I'm not biting a hole through my lip due to pressure, I'm not liable to invert my lungs blowing so hard as the ricos required, and as a result I'm able to focus more on the actual quality of my sound, the inflection in my notes, and I'm getting more learned from a technical standpoint as a result each session. All in all, even if this DOESNT sound the best, which my new ears can't discern in any case, it's so easy to play that I really do intend to track more of these down if and when it needs replacement. At that point I'll weigh in myself whether they tend to vary in how they feel and play, as well as noting how long I actually get out of this one. That's what I've got to say about that. ... show more

  • Good reed, but inconsistent
Size: 2.5 Strength
Once i get one with proper strength they last a very long time. I've used them for the past twenty years and consistency of strength has not improved. they're always ready, good for doubling.

  • As time goes on I'm liking this reed more
Size: 2 Strength
I have a number Fibracell synthetic reeds in different strengths. I have for both my tenor and my alto. For years I have used traditional bamboo reeds from a well known producer and I would frequently play through a bunch of them trying to find one I liked. That play testing included one or more of my Fibracell reeds. They played OK but not the same as the bamboo reeds. And BTW, I also have a few sample synthetic reeds by other providers which I would test play too. This went on for quite some time and each time I test played a bunch of reeds I would end up settling on a bamboo reed. Until recently when none of the bamboo reeds played as well as the Fibracell reed. And so I settled on it and I played it for a few days until one day I realized I was liking the reed. Does it play the same as bamboo? No. Does it sound good? Different but good, you just have to get used to it to appreciate it. And so when my Fibracell reed finally wore out I bought another one. When this one fails I will buy another. ... show more

  • Great Reed for Me
Size: 2.5 Strength
I'm a beginner with a medical problem that causes a very dry mouth. I wanted two things. First, a reed that didn't require moisture to work....that is: soaking in water beforehand and/or during practice and after breaks. Second, an easier playing reed. I was using a Rico 2 1/2 (I'd tried several) and was having trouble. I bought this synthetic reed in the same strength (2 1/2) because I'd read that the synthetics tend to play a bit softer than the cane in the same strength rating. I am very happy. This reed plays significantly easier than my cane (natural) reeds and it needs much less maintenance (no pre-wetting and such) as I can just grab my Fibracell synthetic reed, put it on the mouthpiece and start playing right off. Plus, synthetic reeds last much, much longer than natural cane reeds. If you're a student, I think there is no good reason to go "natural" with cane. They are supposed to sound better than synthetic but I think not....unless you're a professional player and can really (not pretending) hear the difference and it bothers you that much. Even so, I understand there are professionals that play only synthetics so you can pay your nickel and take your chance. I paid my nickel and am very happy. ... show more

  • Pricey, but one of my favorite reeds to use
Size: 3 Strength
I buy Fibracell because they last a long time, and they actually sound way better than any synthetic reed i've used. I think they are great for someone that plays almost everyday. I wish the price was cheaper, I've seen them cheaper, but buying here is a last resort if I can't find them cheaper anywhere else. I've tried other reeds to see if they will be better for the price, but I keep coming back to Fibracell. Great reeds, but a little pricey. ... show more

  • Love Fibracell, but they have become less consistent.
Size: 3.5 Strength
I have been playing on Fibracells for many many years. Lots of folks criticize their tone, but I think other factors apply, such as reed strength, mouthpiece, ligature, and most importantly embouchure. I have found the right combination/setup that works very well for me, producing a nice tone whether playing high or low, or loud or soft. One of the things I love most is not having to go through an entire box in search of the perfect reed. But they have recently become less consistent. My last order was two 3.5 strength tenor reeds and they play VERY differently. Is it possible that they have been altered somehow? Perhaps the manufacturer changed something? I don't know, but it's frustrating not being able to trust in this purchase as much anymore. ... show more
