This Reed is a cool alternative to my usual brand. It worked really well and brought a good sound to the saxophone.

Great to use as a backup set of reeds. It comes in a typical plastic case to keep your reeds in, and they play well. I would recommend it for beginner saxophone players.

This reed are not the best quality but as low cost reeds acceptable. They are made in China, so I have to assume that is a different reed specious than the reed from France. I believe further that the treatment is different, much faster and not so careful. The product is lower in quality. The dimensions and the shape of the different reeds differ, something you don't want see in your batch. They are filed, and single rapped in a plastic rapper and a plastic case. The first impression is they are hard to play, but I got a 3 while normally playing a 2.5. So , this is something I expected. So I will give them some credit for that. When I ordered the 3.0 I hoped to get a fuller more vibrant sound. I compared than wit a Sysos Arcan unfiled 2.5 and Vandoren Traditional 2.0 filed. The Eastrock reeds don't even come close to the same result, even the are higher in strength. I can recommend them for practice but not for performence.

Its been awhile since I've pulled out the old alto saxophone and I've had the itch to play it. These reeds aren't the cheapest option available nor the most expensive, they're a good middle ground. I've done marching band, wind ensembles, played in a quartet, jazz bands, and participated in school concerts. That being said I've got some well rounded experience in the music world and have used many different types & brands of reeds. These are overall pretty good and hard to beat at this price point, they get the job done and work. Give them a try!P.S. - My main use for them now is playing at home and enjoying the music for myself.

These EastRock Jazz Alto Saxaphone reeds are natural cane and it shows with the patterns on the outside and the random spots. That makes no difference in the reed's performance. These are not high dollar reeds, but they are plenty good enough for outdoor performances or practice or even performing in some situations (school, etc...).I am giving them five stars though because of the value they represent. These are reeds that you can just put on your saxophone and play and they are priced very reasonably. I would recommend these for someone starting out or looking for solid practice reeds. As you can see from the pictures, the cut is good and the quality is fine.

My son is majoring in music and plays very seriously. We usually buy Vandoren and Legere reeds. When these popped up, I thought, what the heck? Let me tell you, these guys play extremely well, hold their shape quite nicely (not prone to warping) and sound excellent. I ordered 3s and I would say they're comparable to a Vandoren 3. Maybe a touch firmer than a comparable Rico, but not too much. Very nice.

These are decent saxophone reeds. They came in a ten pack, so they should last quite some time. They're obviously not top of the line, but for playing at home or school like we do, I think they will be just fine.

Natural cane reeds are rarely perfect. Often, even with a premium brand, you'll either trim a reed into shape or toss it altogether if it fails to measure up. What I find with these: they're usable from the box -- but not every reed in the box is usable. Find a good one, and I don't need to do anything with them except play. I think they're best for practice. (Finding that not all cane reeds in a box are suitable for play is by no means unique to this brand.)Just one gripe: the reed strength is printed onto the reed, which I expect. But the only place it appears on the carton they come in is tiny print on a white stick-on label. I have reed cartons in multiple sizes which makes it really hard to tell one from the other without opening them up.
