There is no simple answer to this question as it depends on the type of instrument you are playing, your personal preferences, and what type of reed you are using. Some players prefer plastic reeds because they are less likely to break and they can be less expensive. Plastic reeds can also be easier to control when you are first starting out. Wood reeds can produce a richer, fuller sound and some players prefer the way they feel. Wood reeds can be more expensive and fragile, but they can also last longer if you take care of them.
There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on personal preference. Some people find that Vandoren reeds have a richer sound, while others prefer the brighter sound of RICO reeds. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide which type of reed provides the best sound for their particular instrument and playing style.
A chipped reed can severely affect the sound produced by a saxophone, and in some cases can make it impossible to play. The best way to avoid this problem is to regularly inspect your reeds and replace them when necessary.
WD40 is a multi-purpose product that can be used for a variety of tasks around the house. However, you should not use WD40 on a saxophone. WD40 can damage the lacquer on a saxophone and cause the pads to deteriorate.

Since I've been playing the bari sax for more than 11 years, I've tried a lot of different brands and reed strengths, but these are by far my favourite. They have every quality I want in a reed, including dependability and adaptability. I have played on these reeds in jazz, marching, symphonic, and pep bands, among other ensembles, and they have all performed superbly.The 5s are particularly fantastic since I prefer to play with a reed that is really stiff, although Vandoren also manufactures excellent softer reeds.I use my alto to play on the Vandorens.I strongly advise playing on Vandoren if you haven't already.

I recently converted from playing the flute, which has fingerings comparable to those of the saxes, to the bari sax for a jazz ensemble at my college. Since I had studied clarinet, I had some familiarity with reeds as well. I believe these to be decent reeds because they sound fantastic, are simple to play on, and are reasonably priced. After a while of playing on it, the reed changes from being flat as it should be to kind of wavy and makes things difficult to play. I'm not sure whether this is just what occurs to a reed when it's extremely wet. It flattens back out after wiping it off and switching reeds for a time, followed by setting it flat on the stand to dry. Again, just a novice's opinion.

As a tenor musician, these are my preferred reeds; I recently purchased them for one of my Bari students. Despite some reviews claiming otherwise, according to Vandoren's study, these are only slightly harder than the standard reed. Even on a cracked horn, they sound wonderfully balanced and offer great support.

My favourite reed ever! At the same time, I purchased a brand-new box of D'addario Jazz Select 3S unfiled, yet this instrument far outperforms the entire box. Given how little I've been playing lately, I believe I'll switch to synthetic music going forward. highly suggestable

I fell in love with the plastic reed, even though many players favour the conventional cane reeds. Instead of occasionally receiving cane reeds that don't perform very well, it is considerably simpler and produces higher-quality music every time. Very beneficial because it doesn't require continuous rewetting greatly contributes to making the high notes more pleasant to play and better sounding, with the ease of a size 2 and the tone of a 3.5. I'm thinking about getting plastic reeds for all of my instruments; they won't be used much, but I appreciate the distinctive sound they produce.I'm thrilled to think that there may one day be high-quality plastic double reeds.
Saxophone reeds make a difference in the sound that is produced. They can affect the pitch, tone, and volume of the instrument. Different brands and types of reeds will produce different sounds. So, it is important to experiment with different types of reeds to find the sound that you like the best.
There's no definitive answer to this question as it depends on personal preference. Some people believe that stronger reeds produce a fuller, richer sound while others find them to be too harsh. Ultimately, it's up to the musician to experiment with different types of reeds to see which ones produce the sound they're looking for.
To get the best sound out of your saxophone, the reed needs to be wet. If the reed is dry, it will vibrate, but the sound will be thin and harsh. So, before you play, wet the reed with your mouth or a reed soak.
If a reed is bad, it will usually make a sour, unpleasant sound. Sometimes, a reed can become so damaged that it will no longer vibrate properly and will produce no sound at all. If you suspect that a reed is bad, it's always best to err on the side of caution and replace it.
First, you need to put your lips together as if you were going to whistle. Next, you need to curl your tongue back and make a small opening at the back of your throat. Finally, you need to blow air through this opening while making a "r" sound.
Bari sax reeds typically last anywhere from two weeks to two months, depending on how often they are used and how well they are cared for. To extend the life of your reeds, be sure to store them in a cool, dry place and avoid exposure to extreme temperature changes. When not in use, wrap them in a cloth or reed case to protect them from damage.
