Alto Saxophone Reeds for Alto Sax Strength 2.5; Box of 10

Best for $

always very happy with these.we get a lot of use out of them and the cost is very reasonablegreat purchase, highly recommend

After opening the package it was obvious, one of the reeds was cut off center and unplayable.Grabbed another and loaded it into my Theo wanne durga gold mpc and played it on my Selmer sa80 alto sax.Wasn't that bad. I've only tried 2 so far, but one worked.Realistically... $8.00, I got no complaints.Can't say what other packages of reeds may have in store me. If at all their a decent practice reed.

The price was great. Check it out

They taste better than most envelopes and stamps, but am having less call to lick those these days as most are self adhesive. However for sax reeds, they are not self adhesive and you will need a ligature, or rubber bands or a hose clamp in a pinch. I've never been that fussy about reeds. You can spend a good deal more on the named brands if you desire, but these are fine for my purposes. I switched out a VD reed for one of these, couldn't tell the difference apart from the new reed taste. Your mileage may vary, but mine didn't.

I'm primarily a tenor and bari player, but had an alto gig come up and I was out of reeds. I didn't want to spend too much for a one-off so I decided to try something cheap just for kicks. I was pleasantly surprised with these! I used a reed knife to flatten the back as I do with all reeds, but that's normal practice. I highly recommend these for the occasional alto player.

I think my saxophone is just out of tune because it sounds weird. My C doesn't sound like a normal C. But all the other notes sound good. I really enjoyed jumping back into the alto sax. It was cool.

Son likes these reeds and they’re reasonably priced.
