While the hunt for good reeds never seems to end, lately I've been quite please with the Gonzalez reeds. I play a Couf/Kurtzweil tenor, most often with an SR Tech metal mouthpiece, and have tried plenty of different reed brands. Previously I most often used Vandoren ZZs, but I find the Gonzalez to give a more focused sound, and consistently offer more out-of-the-box playability. Usually I play the 3.5s, but appreciate the flexibility of having a 3.25 hardness also.

80%percent is respectable though not fantastic average in most arenas, but as far as sax reeds are concerned, that really is fantastic. Having played on just about everything including plastic, (speaking of bari and legere), I started using gonzalez on my both my alto and tenor about 5 years ago. I began with the 2.5s and lately have mellowed to the 2.25 on the tenor and remain with the 2.5s on my alto. This is the only brand where I have found every reed playable. Sure some are better than others and each one is a little different but I don't ever recall having to go straight from the box to the garbage with any of their reeds. I play basically a bebop inspired style. My heros are naturally Coltrane and Sonny. I'm also a big Brecker fan (RIP), love Joshua Redman and Kenny Garrett just to name a few. The reeds give me great control of all possible nuances I get from my MkIV. Lows are warm and wet, highs are mellow and sweet - these are everthing you want in a reed if you really love the saxophone
