I have always used reeds from this company. As a beginner years ago it seemed the popular brand among jazz artists. Today’s product seems much more durable-I don’t experience splitting with these. They stay whole until they lose the tone I need. I am a huge fan of their strength system. I don’t have an inconsistency or unusability that many speak of. Reeds are so expensive now and I am happy enough with these that I have not given other brands a real go.

First, I bought the sampler pack to see which one was perfect for me. My teacher gave me a 2H filed and it was good, but I like unfiled better. So, I found the 2H unfiled was perfect for me and I ordered a box. Took 3 out to break in. They all played perfectly and exactly the same. That has never happened with the V brand reeds. I am hopeful that the other 7 in the box will be the same. Just watched a video on D'Addario and their process of making reeds. Explains a lot.

Anches jouées sur un saxo alto Yamaha et bec Meyer ébonite 6. Le rendu est bon pour un son jazz.La coupe américaine donne une sonorité plus ronde et plus agréable qu'une coupe française.Je recommande les Select Jazz unfield.

Absolutely LOVE these reeds! Recommended by my music teacher, these are exactly what I've needed. Good solid reeds that last for hours of playing without getting soft. I'm a moist player, think spitty, and often had trouble with reeds getting to soft during long playing. These reeds hold up really well and so far every one I've picked from the box was instantly playable! Miracle! I'll be buying these again! Usually play a 3, I was told these were stiffer and I would need to go down a number, glad I did. The 2 hard was perfect.

Never tried these reeds until recently but love them. They are accommodating and expressive and - so far - no duds, which is pretty good going when you've splashed out on 10 of them. I would have awarded 5 stars but still have a couple of unplayed ones. Check em out and don't be put off by the 'select jazz' tag; they're just very playable and responsive which allows you to produce good tone through the range of the horn.

All ten reeds are playable! Never have I ever been able to say that. Have used Vandoren reeds with little luck ( ZZ, Java). When my box of LaVoz 2.5 were done, I took a chance on the Rico Jazz Select 2H, and I am glad I did. All flat, all have good heart, all have even grain.Maybe I just got lucky, or maybe after 40 some odd years of playing saxophone, a gift was delivered to my doorstep. In any case, I would definitely recommend trying these reeds.Download a couple of reed comparison charts, and decide what might work for you. The 2H are great for the middle and altissimo range, I do have to substantially change my embrochue to go below middle E with these reeds, but once there, the notes sound great.

These are the finest cane reeds I have ever used.I store my reeds on a sheet of glass in north light. When I first get the reeds I soak them for a few minutes in cool water, " apply a lip squeegee", and set them on a sheet of glass and lightly rub the reed onto the glass... the reed will never have a wavy tip!It takes several short break in sessions... after soaking the reed in cool water, play about 10 min. of long tones and arpeggios followed by drying on a plate of glass in north light before any adjustment that you may make... I "break in " five at a time and 3 or 4 are superb and the others marginal.Always return the "post gig" damp reeds to storage asap to keep them flat!Keep the glass clean or the the reed will stick to it!Rotate your reeds during playing sessions!
