D'Addario Organic Select Jazz Filed Alto Saxophone Reeds - Sax Reeds - Individually Sealed - 2 Medium, 10 Pack

Wow.. I just graduated from a 2 med to a 2 hard and what a difference it has had in fixing a couple of problems I had been struggling with. I've been playing the sax for approx. 2.5 years and have been going through some growing pains that have been driving me crazy. 1. is, when I go from a B to a middle D, I will more times than none hit a high A. 2nd. When moving from note to note, I would occasionally get a squeak here and there. I just got done playing for 2 hours and no squeaks and hit the high A 1 time and that was my fault. I did try some Rico #2.5 a while back, and they were terrible. Update: The second day of practice using the 2H reed is WOW.. This reed is a game changer for me.

Was just as it was described very pleased

My son said these are amazing. He plays very well for his jazz band

My teenager prefers these to other known brands and the sound quality is much improved without as much chipping. He uses these both for jazz and concert music.

The media could not be loaded. Me encanta. El sonido que producen es muy bueno

I played alto sax for 23 years in an Air Force jazz band. Clarinet is my primary instrument. I actually put my horns down for 10 years but came back to it all 5 years ago. I am currrently 1st chair clarinet in an outstanding 90 piece concert band. However, it has just been 5 months ago when I also returned to jazz band. I have been experimenting with numerouos mouthpieces and reeds during that time but have been pretty frustrated trying to find the best set up. I bought a box of the Select Jazz 2 soft alto reeds and was blown away (pun intended) by this reed. I have been a big Legere supporter on clarinet for a number of years and tried one with alto but it just wan't there. This Jazz Select reed is amazing and I would higly reccommend it. I got lucky with a 2 soft and it was the right reed. You may have to experiment to find your perfect reed. Just an fyi, I settled on a Myers #5 metal mouthpiece and love it as well. Both the hard rubber and metal are excellent jazz mouthpieces. Hope this helps. Thanks D'Addario!

Good consistent quality.

These were outstanding out of the box. Great quality. Advertised as 5 per box. But there were 10 when received. Wish reeds were cheaper. Like the good old days. But we could say that for just about everything.If you play sax, this is as close as you can get to maintenance free reeds.
