Rico Plasticover Soprano Sax Reeds, Strength 2.5, 5-pack

These reads works just fine for me, all the time..Ive reorderd many times

I prefer these to traditional reeds any day. I'm lazy and don't like soaking reeds and even going through the prep process before using them, so these have been a lifesaver. I also like the sound and tone that are produces from these over regular reeds. I will be buying these again, as the plastic does wear off, but they still last longer and break less than traditional ones, in my experience.

So I am using my soprano sax to improve my lung function after having sone health issues;; These reeds work well . I, at my current health can not do a 3 or. 2 Reed , these work good and I was able to play my soprano sax- I will be ordering these reeds for my alto .

1st one broke too easily. 2nd one is going strong

This is my first time using the Plasticover reeds. I was using regular wooden reeds and having a lot of trouble with warping which made squealing happen frequently. Since using these Reeds I do not have that problem. My husband notices that my playing is more smooth and enjoys listening now that I am not squealing all the time. I will definitely reorder these when the time comes.

I'm new to the sax . . .and I'm working out the embouchure . . .but after trying to keep my bamboo reeds wet . . .I had a hard time with sustain . . .and wondering if my reed had dried out after an hour of playing . . .so . ..I purchased synthetic reeds . . .they just came in the mail . . .and man . . .my playing is much smoother . . .I'm waiting on a new mouth piece . . .but . . .I feel comfortable playing now that I have these synthetic reeds . . . .I'm going to play for an hour . . .and . . .I'm pretty sure the reeds will withstand the test of time . . .I've read one review supporting bamboo reeds . . .but . . .after checking these things out . . .I'm going to continue to purchase synthetic reeds . . .especially from D'addario

Love these plasticover soprano sax reeds and you have to use it for a little while to break it in until the reed is well broken in and then you have a very nice mellow sound coming out your sax.

Not free blowing at all, very very disappointed
