The reed plays really great and for me it is really easy to use but I use a size 3 it fits my mouthpiece perfectly the cost of it is quite high but it is worth it it functions very well I will use this on my next gig

Le avevo già provate in passato sono le migliori in assoluto

I’ve tried so many reeds and these are truly the best. They last the longest and play instantly without having to moisten or wet prior.

Not cheap but the plastic coating makes them very reliable. Very good quality.

the reeds work very well, but there is one problem. they squeak a little bit, and are a lot easier to play than you might think. after a while of playing them, i got used to them and they play well.

As palhetas são boas, mas nem todas têm a mesma uniformidade de som, pois umas são mais flexíveis que outras, gerando sons estridentes.No geral, têm uma boa qualidade de produção, com o corte francês adequando-se perfeitamente à boquilha.

Hay que colocar la caña muy bien por lo estrecha que es por lo demás bien suenan

Allways the best for me there is for plastic coated reeds to play on tenor sax

These reeds work well for me, especially for pit work. Being actual cane reeds they bring all the desired feel and response of cane. The plastic coating helps combat the problem of 'dry-reed' when the horn sits waiting for use, then is quickly needed to respond.The coating longevity is good and usually lasts the usefulness-expectation of the cane. I have also used Plasticover reeds in general concert band situations, and they have worked fine for me.A possible bonus: the coating may help prevent reed tip damage by strengthening the bond of the cane fibers.

Damn these are frickin great. First reed out of the box was ready to roll, no warm up time needed at all. After 5-6 sessions, it still looks new! Sounds awesome!

This is our go-to brand for reeds. They are much cheaper than other brands and last quite as long. These plastic covered ones are good for marching as it makes the sound resonate more. If playing indoors, buy the Rico reeds that are not plastic coated

(As a reed for jazz, I would give it 5 stars.)I have been playing on Rico Jazz select, but decided to try a box of these.With the 3.0 Jazz Select reeds, I went through five reeds to get 2 trashed, 2 decent reeds, and one great reed.So far I have played three plasticovers. One trashed (it looked too thick at the heel to start with) and two very good.Here is my take on these two plasticovers (as compared to the best Jazz Select).Pros:1) Edgy sound that is great for Jazz and Rock. Strong, penetrating tone and I can push these harder and louder. A truly great reed if you like to play raunchy!2) Plastic seals reed from moisture so it plays stable fresh out of the box. This can be a big deal if you end up running late for a gig or if you are swapping between two horns. You can relax about keeping both reeds wet.3) Durability is better because the reed is not going through wet/dry cycles. Also reed is simply tougher and less like to split thanks to the plastic.4) Consistency is better because the plastic cover is something which is the same for reed to reed. Of course the underlying wood has the same "every one is different" aspect, but the cover seems to make the differences in the wood have less impact on the end product.Cons:1) Not so nuanced as the Jazz Select. Subtle changes in pitch and sound are more readily controlled on the natural reed. However, the Plasticover is not bad. When playing with a jazz band, this subtlety is lost to the need to project (no one hears your brilliant playing of those finely nuanced soft notes).2) The Natural reed gives slightly better control for playing pianissimo, again not a concern for jazz.3) The natural reed gives a rounder, more mellow sound which would be more appropriate for blending in and supporting (like in a musical play).Conclusions:If I played into a mic, the "great" jazz select would definitely beat out the Plasticover. The edgy sound could come across as harsh over a mic. and the better response to subtle changes of the natural reed would become an asset.I'm not sure which I would prefer for a concert band situation; however, even if you definitely prefer a natural reed, it is, IMHO worth buying a box of the Plasticovers just to use when practicing at home for two reasons:1) Good natural reeds are not always easy to find and it makes sense to save them for performances.2) I leave my horn out on a stand at home. Having a plasticover on it means I can pick it up and immediately start playing without squeaks any time. This is changing the way I practice. I am finding it is more productive for me to have many short practices rather than one longer practice in a day. Obviously YMMV as to how you learn, but I never realized wetting the reed was a significant drawback until I started using the Plasticovers.FWIW, my assessment was made using both Rico Metalite M7 mouthpiece and metal Otto Link number 7. Both pieces exhibited the same tendencies in the sound/playability of the reeds.

One of the best bari sax reeds I've ever used. They taste disgusting. They taste like...if you had a reed soaking in plastic water bottle for a few weeks -- drink that water. After you use it for 10 minutes, you don't notice the taste any more.The reed gave me a really rich tone. If you're into the stinky barisax playing, this reed is not for you. If you like that stinky sax playing, I'd recommended Rico Select Jazz Bari Sax Reeds in your size, but one strength softer. If you play a 3 medium - get 3 soft. If you play 4 hard (ew), get a 4 medium.Anyway -- get these reeds! Circulate the reeds and they'll last a long long time.
