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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Love these soft reeds on tenor. After they get wimpy, I very carefully trim the edges with super sharp scissors and then shave the vamp as needed with a reed geek and sometimes get good as new. But here I am ready to buy a few more and Amazon prime is $11 per reed higher that other vendors. (I'll buy 2 and qualify for free shipping there, too.) OK, I figured it out. Almost everyone is out of stock of the 1.5 reeds at the moment so we're seeing a little price gouging at the moment. And yes, I need one badly enough to buy it here. We'll see if the Prime price comes down when the competition returns.

I purchased this item after a favorable review from an online sax teacher. This reed created a buzzy tone, and it was tried on several different high-quality mouthpieces. I emailed the manufacturer for advice on how to solve this, but received no reply. The manufacturers website indicates some special instructions, like not twisting your mouthpiece on the neck while the reed is attached, else the reed will be damaged. Some saxophone forums had discussions where other users also reported having a buzzy sound from these reeds. I decided to return the reed.

This reed, combined with a new ligature solved many problems with my recently purchased Selmer Paris tenor sax. I have been using this brand of reed with my less expensive alto sax, and I always get a great sound. The Selmer sax has deeper issues, but this combined with another ligature resolved some issues. I would highly recommend this reed over any other I have used, even though they seem a bit over priced. It was my instructor, who is a highly accomplished professional musician, that pointed me to this brand of reeds.
