I bought these reeds because of previous reviews that I had read. I was immediately impressed with the sound of these reeds when playing rock, or with other musicians who have personal amplification. The sound is bright enough that it cuts the other instruments very well when soloing, but can still be subtile when I need them to. I found the reeds required some getting used to, as I think they respond differently than the regular cane Rico Jazz Selects that I usually use, but because of the sound projection, and the fact that they respond quite quickly when I'm doubling, and don't have the ability to keep the reeds soaked, I decided to buy a set for my alto as well.
I love these reeds. You get five reeds per box and at least five are ready to play right out of the box. I like to use them with my Dukoff hard rubber mouthpiece. The reed allows me to compete with loud guitar players very nicely. I get a nice clear tone throughout the whole range of the horn. When the reed finally and gradually loses the coating, they still remain very playable but no longer have that "edgy" sound that I like. With the edge gone, is when they are perfect for jazz or big band playing.
I have been playing saxophone for 15-years and have tried all kinds of reeds throughout the years. These are excellent reeds, very versatile. I use these reeds on my Otto Link Super Tone Master 8 with Gospel Jazz and Contemporary Jazz, and on my Otto Link Super Tone Master NY 8 with Big band and Soft Ballads. Many people say you can't use them for a Paul Desmond or Stan Gets tone But I can get any tone I want out of these reeds just by adjusting my embouchure. I highly recommend these reeds for anyone looking for a very versatile reed that will do anything you want. Consistency is a little quirky at times so just be careful when you buy these and get a couple of boxes just to be safe.
I have played on a lot of reeds and I have found that these reeds are the best for the saxophonist who needs that extra edge. Straight out of the box you can begin playing without a long soaking. They give quick response and the tone quality is a killer. I have played on a lot of reeds but I have always come back to the plastic covered. I highly recommend these reeds!!!
Generally I would find 2 or maybe 3 reeds per box that I felt I could use for a gig. It got to be pretty expensive to buy a box of 5 reeds only to find 2 that I could get the sound I was looking for out of a reed. Much of this has to do with the mouth pieces as well. Since switching to the Rico Plasticovers, I find that I am consistently getting 5 out of 5 gig ready reeds for my soprano and alto and 3 to 4 out of 5 for my tenor. I have never found this consistency with any other reed. You just put it on the mouthpiece and it is show time. I have been using the Rico plasticovers for maybe 15 years now and have no desire to experiment with other reeds. They work for me.
