I never thought a reed would make such a difference.I was playing some old vintage Rico Royals that I had in my case for a long time. Although they played well, I thought it might be time to get new reeds.I bought a variety pack of Vandoren 3s. I used them in the past. But now they just don't work for me. Maybe they were too hard. Regardless, they were just not fun to play. I tried my old Rico Royal 3s and they were better.I got the 2M Select Jazz, and they gave me so much more control.I was going to buy a new mouthpiece, but with these reeds, I have a new playing experience and am happy with my current vintage 1970s Meyer 6M.

I bought these for my son who is currently learning what his favorite reed he would like to use when playing. So far it's these. I've played on them, and they sound great! I do have my own particular choice in reeds, but these are great when i've run out of my choice. My son on the other hand has picked these more than once, and it does have a significant difference in sound and durability compared to the Ricos that he would usually get. So I think these are the ones we'll be purchasing from here on out.

I know that getting the correct reeds is very subjective. But for my son these are perfect. He really liked them. Maybe a little more expensive than some other brands but he thinks they are worth that extra bit.

I've purchased the D'Addario reeds for my clarinet, alto and tenor. Probably my favorite reed for the price.

Ich verwende die Blätter dieser Marke gerne auf Alt-und Tenorsaxophon, da mit diesen ein voller Sound zu erzeugen ist. Manchmal ist zwar ein Blatt dabei, das am Anfang dumpf klingt, aber meistens funktioniert dieses dann auch wenn es mal eingespielt ist.

These reeds play a little thin for me compared to other comparable reeds. However, they are of nice quality. Saxophone reeds are a very personal choice and the person and the instrument make a huge difference. (I'm an average player who has played for about 40 years. I tested these on a 1921 Conn Tenor). There is nothing wrong with the quality of the reeds, they just didn't work for me/my instrument.So if you like the idea of an Organic reed, try them, you might have very different results.

I haven't played on cane for decades but recently I wanted to see if I could change my tone and because synthetics seem to be getting worse. Synth reeds are really expensive but they can last for along time and they are great for just about anything, which is why I began playing them. Fibracell stopped making the reed that worked best for me. Now I hear from Steve Cole that D'Addario makes a great synthetic; I'll be checking it out too.To really evaluate these cane reeds one needs to play on the whole box, in my opinion. The things that are important are: Can I pick any reed from the box and play on it; does it warp easy; do I have to work it a lot to get it to play; will there be any dead reeds in this pack? I would get a box of LaVoz med hard and work those down to med soft. D'Addario has filed these reeds already so one might just need to seal one or all of them.So far, these seem to be good reeds. The 3 med, seem to be a solid medium. Back in the day, 3 meant medium but now you have 3 soft, med, and hard and I don't have any idea how that works. And the problem is reeds are expensive and nobody wants to by $150 dollars worth of reeds just to find the right strength. D'Addario I hear has a strength chart that should help you out.Again I would have to play on every reed in the pack to really be able to give a qualified review but I can't do that right now. All I can say is They look and feel and play like a quality reed and even though they are filed you can still work them if you know what you're doing. I haven't had one warp on me yet and I hope I never do. we'll see

First things first. How many of us reed-playing woodwind musicians have even given a thought to whatever chemical residue from pesticides, herbicides and synthetic fertilizers we are putting in our mouths for so many hours? Until these certified organic reeds came our from D'addario, I hadn't. But that alone isn't enough reason for most of us to switch reeds, after spending years finding and perfecting our setup and sound.That's why when I mounted the first Select Jazz reed on my Yanagisawa tenor and blew the first few notes, I was excited by the quality of sound. I chose the filed 2H strength, which according to D'addario's Reed Strength Chart (which you can download from their website) is equivalent to their Rico 3.0 and Legere American Cut 2.5 reeds. D'addario uses a different rating system for their Select Jazz reeds, with Soft, Medium, or Hard following the strength number (2, 3 or 4) instead of fractions like many others.D'addario's environmental commitment even extends to their packaging, eliminating the usual plastic reed case for a thin cardboard sleeve. Each reed is individually sealed in clear celophane, preserving freshness. Each reed has the name and strength laser etched on the outside, instead of printed on the inside like most others. They claim that all their cane reeds will be organic by 2025. With their experience in producing at least 7 cane reed plus 2 synthetic reed models for a full range of instruments, I trust the company's dedication to producing the highest quality reeds.The more I play these Select Jazz reeds, trying them with different mouthpiece and ligature setups, the more I like them. They're quickly becoming my go-to reed for most of the types of music I play. Kudos to D'addario for setting a new standard.

I also love the different styles of reeds that D'Addario offers. These reeds are available in a range of hardness, so I never have to worry about buying my favorite reed again.These reeds are really good for beginners and for those who are looking for a very mellow sound. They work well with a variety of musical genres, from jazz to rock and even funk. They have a great sound, and are perfect for beginners.
