bravo! Synthetic Reeds for Tenor Saxophone-Strength 2.0 (Box of 5), Model BR-TS20

I bought the 5 pack of black tenor reeds. I don't recommend getting the black reeds - hard to see what's going on relative to the mpc. I bought #2s because the only other syn reeds I've used are Fibracell #3s which are a little stiff for me, but work really well when you get the right strength. Also, I like an old fashioned bluesy sound with my hard rubber mpc - an old King T - so a soft reed helps with that.These #2 reeds are very consistent - they all blew the same, which was still a little stiff for me! I sanded a couple down (mostly on the top near each side) and they played well after that. They are consistent up and down the horn, which is great, and the tone is rich, with the kind of harmonics I like.All of my 5 reeds have 2 flaws that the company shoud correct: 1. They're a tad too narrow, so you have to be really careful that you center them on the mpc table and make sure they will close at the tip completely. 2. They are branded on the arched "cane" end of the top of the reed, where the ligature clamps - the problem is the brand is a molded, RAISED logo, making problems with getting the ligature just where you want it on the reed.Other than that these reeds are an economical way to play a reed with all of the advantages of synthetics - long life, consistent tone, no spit needed, etc. They're especially good if you're not afraid to sand them a little to get what you want! (I don't recommend sanding the underside or clipping the tip)

I love rhese reeds! I get dry mouth when I play and these really help with that. Tone is great too!

Played way harder than a 2. Like so hard I can’t hardly play them. I’m having to sand them down.
