There will be no tacky reed anymore, and the blowing will be more difficult.
What you play has a great deal to do with it. The response of mediums will tend to be better than that of hards, but the depth of sound in hards is deeper, so as you get more practice with them, you'll be able to produce richer sound.

After playing metal mouthpieces for 20 years, I recently decided to try out an open tip metal mouthpiece for the first time. After getting my new mouthpiece, I decided my old reeds were not up to the task, and so I set out to find new ones. After I got these reeds, I pulled out two of them that sounded terrible. The heart didn't look right to me when I examined them. Only two of the rest of the cards were the right shape, so I went through the rest of the box. A practice session lasted for an hour, but after that they were no longer playable. Overall, I didn't have as warm of a feeling about them as I had expected. However, you have a different experience from me. There is something very personal about saxophone reeds. I would like to warn you. There is no one size fits all. The solutions that work for me may not be the ones that Be careful not to buy reeds based from what someone else says, such as, "These reeds are the best! " or "These reeds are terrible!" The best advice I can give you is to try multiple manufacturers, different types, and different strengths before selecting the one that you like.
My son is a junior in high school and a gifted player - they are a huge hit with him. Besides playing in jazz ensembles and concert ensembles, he is also involved in other forms of music. Having tried multiple brands of spray, his teacher highly recommended these, and we have been very happy with them. The sound produced by them is clear and loud. The Rico Grand Concert Select is his favorite reed for concert band. My son admits that there tends to be about one reed out of every box that isn't as good as the rest, but considering the cost, we can overlook When you wish to have a good sound, playing the bari is an extremely expensive hobby!.
My Jody Jazz metal mouthpiece did not sound good with these thin tubes. The hard rubber would probably benefit from this.
I like the product.
It is a great reed, I usually play zz vandorean 3, but this is a solid alternative. Although I cannot scream as loudly as I can with the zzs, the cuts are very good and the sound is excellent!.
It is of excellent Easy to break but does not easily break. It doesn't have an unpleasant factory taste. It appears to play smoothly before breaking it.
In my experience, the select reeds have consistently worked very well and seem to last a long time. I have used them on every saxe to date and I am satisfied with their performance.
My experience to date has been that Rico Jazz Selects are the best-sounding, most consistent reeds I have used. These have a variety of options in terms of strength and cut that gives you a better chance to find your perfect reed than others (Vandoren Java, ZZ).
