Questions & Answers

A number of my reeds have warped over the years. What is the warp resistance of this reel (I usually use a 3 or a 2 1/2 reel)?

Since it is made of plastic, it will not warp when it is subjected to the same conditions A flat surface should be expected at normal temperatures

Let's do away with the cane! You are now living in your new home! Having played Fibracell reeds for twenty five years, I know different types of reeds
5/5

So to put it simply. br>I grew up in Massachusetts and attended Berklee College before making a living in Las Vegas for more than in the 60's)
Eleven woodwind instruments now adorn my closet (I blame It has been an honor to work with Frank Sinatra, Patti LaBelle, Aretha Franklin, Tom Jones, Doc Severenson's band, and numerous other musicians. How much time do you really have at the start of a two hour show with one of your six or seven double instruments on board to worry about whether your reed on a particular instrument has dried out? On the market, there are a variety of synthetic reeds. You can save money by doing this. You can get the warmest, most intimate sound from fibercell on every instrument you play. My opinion of the other offerings is that they achieve the tone production in a brittle manner. Don't be afraid to try these reeds, you won't be sorry!.

The reed was excellent It has a bit of a soft feel to it
5/5

My favorite thing about Fibracell reeds is their durability This is a response, durability, and feel that is great. The Fibracell Premier was my first time using one, and I have found it a little squishy You can find this at An alternate reed equivalent to a 5 would be a 2. I need to spend an extra $20 on a strength 3, but when trying out new reeds, it's not out of the ordinary.

The Legere Signature Series is a better option
5/5

Fibercell Premier is more responsive when it comes to Tenor and Baritone Saxophones. I dislike Legere when it comes to these. This would be a great choice for altos and sopranos.

During my time with a large woodwind ensemble, Fibracells have improved and I'm satisfied with them
4/5

Fibracell has yet again produced a high-quality product. Each year, they improve more and more. they're all a little different, so you may have to try a few before finding one you like. For me the only way to play larger reed instruments is with synthetic reeds.

It is not clear if the quality or durability of Fibracells is consistent
3/5

It is not the case that their build and service span are the same. This should be the case with technology. There were two types I bought one of a different strength, and the other of the same grade. In the case of 5, it simply became misbehaving faster than the others without being played more frequently. There are reports about Fibracells giving up the ghost sooner than other synthetic reeds, but you would think that should be included across all the products. Since I may be the only one to review this product, you can really see if your mouthpiece setup is correct. They will go bad after a period of time. They are not even suited to practice anymore and they are called "done". I feel terrible throwing them away, but why not keep them?.

The price is very reasonable
5/5

The reeds last forever, but in the past few months I've noticed my tone hasn't been as strong as before. From what you would play on a cane reed, I'd recommend playing up a size.

The tone of the bari is very powerful and punchy, which is good when it is used in particular Two of the items were purchased
4/5

It plays very well, and it is a 5 baritone sax reed. There is a punchy sound generated by it which works fine in certain genres of music, yet it also has the ability to be played softly and subtly for a warmer tone. I only have one complaint the plastic covering on the back of the reed started peeling after a few months.

Don't think about it
5/5

Just set it and not think about For the doubler, this is perfect. On my primary, I prefer bamboo, and on my doubles, I prefer synthetic.
