Wow, I only used this reed for a week, and it’s very strong, and I can tell it will lasts for months. I haven’t played soprano saxophone in over 20 years, back then it was all wooden reeds. Now synthetic, my mind is blown. Will purchase again.

I like the feel and performance of this synthetic reed. I have purchased these before. They have a long life and provide a consistently good performance for the span of its lifetime.

I’ve been using this on my soprano sax for about 3 months now and I like it for when I have to to performances outdoors. It’s not something I would use in a jazz, or classical setting. I’d use this more as a tool to try to get better with intonation, since synth reeds are really just meant to be loud, and not really in tune as much as regular reeds.

I have used synthetic reeds for years to play the soprano and alto saxophone. My favorites are Legere's signature series. A week ago, I bought this (2 1/2). It is alright but harder for me than my favorite Legere signature (2 1/2).

The trick is to get the right style reed in the proper strength with the best ligature for your chosen mouthpiece and playing situation. I find these reeds work well with Yamaha and Otto Link rubber/plastic mouthpieces.The different style reeds offer flexibility for different sounds.Once you get your set-up, just grab your horn and play it with no more folderol than your flute.

It's so nice to start playing right away without having to let your reed sit in water for about 5 minutes. Excellent practice reed! I'm just an amateur soprano sax hobbyist to I don't know different it sounds from a professional's standpoint. It's also very sturdy but you still need to be careful not to damage it. It's stronger than wooden reeds but not indestructible.

Legere Sax reeds are amazing. When I first started playing sax, it was for a HS pep band. We did a lot of sitting, then standing when there was a time out or quarter break when we played. Inevitably, I'd chip the end of my reed - sometimes a brand new one. The Legere reeds are the best out there - I've read hours on different sax forums, and then bought several reeds to try out. The Legeres are the best sounding and most comfortable for me. And they have all the benefits of a synthetic reed: easy to play, doesn't chip, and easy to get used to playing these reeds. You don't need to soak in water or hold them in your mouth to get them "wet." Economical. They last a long time, and are much cheaper (over time) thatn using cane reeds. And for me, they sound about 90% as good as a can reed. I've only been playing for a a couple of years, and not seriously. I'm sure that a better sax player could make them sound better than I do.

The reed was great but I gave it less stars for the horrible wasteful packaging!

This is my second reed purchased from this brand, and I am very pleased with their products. I am a beginner soprano sax player, and I purchased this reed simply because I only play small parts on certain songs. I didn't want to have my wood reed drying out when I needed it most. This reed does take some getting used to. It will feel different in your mouth as you play since it is made of a synthetic material. I would say that it is smoother and easier to move around than a wood reed. However, wood reeds seem to be easier to keep in a stable position since the wood provides friction. The sound is still good to me when I play, but I would say that wood reeds still sound warmer. But, I think each player will have to come to their own conclusion.Anyway, these reeds are NOT indestructible. If you accidently bite them or bend them, they will warp. This can be avoided by treating them as you would a wood reed. Though, wood reeds are still the more delicate of the two.Overall, I would strongly recommend owning this reed. It's not terribly expensive to own anyway, so even if it is to try one out like I did, it will make a great backup even if you prefer wood reeds.
