Used LaVoz reeds for over 20 years, they are the best, but the seller messed up my order and sent me a box of 5 instead of the box of 10 I ordered and cannot get satisfaction from them.

I've played many reeds. I have been playing for about 25 years and there's nothing like these. It' simple as this... the reeds have "body" to them. They are thick sounding, dark and full. You can get a laser pointed sound but think "dark laser" not bright with edge. It's hard to explain... they are very "round" sounding. To me Jazz Select is for some one who wants more brightness but still full. These La Voz can be mellow or loud without aggressive edge. It really depends on your setup. How your mouthpiece responds to certain reeds. With my setup I haven't found anything I like better than these and I have used almost everything.

Not that La Voz has a reputation for consistency, but it's been my experience that the brand went downhill some years ago. After playing through a few boxes of recent batches, I'm pleased. I've always loved the LA Voz cut, but it's never been a consistent reed in cane quality or hardness. With that said, the recent boxes I've played have yielded many more playable reeds (6-8) and 1-3 performance reeds.

These reeds work well for me. Play 3 reed instruments and use the la voz with my tenor. Respond well and love the sound.

Je joue La Voz sur ténor, alto et soprano, medium ou medium-hard. Son jazz excellent, pas très adaptées pour le classique, qualité assez constante, j'en utilise 7-8 par boîte, ce qui est plutôt pas mal.Par contre... C'est devenu bien cher les anches

The verdict is still pending on these tenor sax reeds since I haven't finished the box yet and probably won't for quite some time since I primarily play alto. (Have not used La Voz alto) . Initially I ordered them after pulling out an old La Voz and liking the tenor sound with it. So far, these new ones seem to be performing okay. One star removed because they tend to be more expensive than the other comparable popular reeds. Perhaps I'll revise this review after using more of them.

I love these reeds. I tried the vandoren java but our didn't like them the way everyone else seemed to. Everyone is raving about the Java's, but for me these work great. I've been playing for 25 plus years and teach lessons, play with bands, etc. I'm a female, and these seem a lot softer to me than java, so maybe that's why. I get the med soft and med.

La Voz occupies the sweet spot for consistency, tonal neutrality, and value. I use La Voz MH with an Otto Link (NY) STM #9 on a tenor and the tone is full and rich, not overly bright and not dull and stuffy either. If a classic jazz sound is your thing, they're a great way to go. Some require a little shaving to get a better low end response. I can also recommend Rico Royal if you want a tad brighter sound for roughly equivalent strength.I'm sure some premium reeds might be better for certain mouthpiece and stylistic niches, but I've never found La Voz wanting for quality. I doubt that there would ever be more playable reeds in a premium box of 5 than in a La Voz box of 10.

I've been using LaVoz reeds for over 30 years, so I must like them! I'm a pro-player, and use them on Tenor, Alto, Soprano, & on my Saxello. While I've had some issues with inconsistency over the years, and have tried other reeds, I keep coming back. I've become very good at clipping & shaving my reeds, to help make them play better, as well as lengthening their life-span. The main reasons for my preferring them is that they seem to "sing" more than others (I know that may sound a bit cosmic), &, as Dave Sanborn has said, "they have heart". Now, reeds that sing & have heart may not sound very technically descriptive, but those who play saxophone should have an idea of what I'm talking about...They have certainly jumped way up in price... Plus, why are a box of 5 med-soft $20, but soft are $24? And why is a box of med-soft $20, but a box of 10 is $50?? Makes absolutely no sense, why would anyone buy one, when they could just buy two boxes of 5, and come out 10 bucks ahead? Have their accountants seen this pricing? Larger quantities are supposed be less per item, not more! $5 per reed is highway robbery, sorry, especially when the same exact reed, just a tiny bit harder is $4 each... SMH
