Selected User Reviews For Fibracell Tenor Saxophone Reeds (FCTSP1.5)
My band doesn't care about tone quality, etc. (we're loud, we're chaotic, we melt faces in Seattle) so I need something that goes through the rigors of Seattle and is going to be durable. It needs to be easy to play loudly and comfortably. The quality I am looking for is given to me by this. The reed can chip or something, which requires me to shell out almost $20 for a new one every now and then. I say handle it well, so you won't have to deal with it later If you want to put it in your case, never leave the cover on the mouthpiece when you put the cover on. Maintain it by cleaning it every so often. Keep it in a protective packaging, such as the hard plastic case with which you received it (or a D'Addario flip-up pocket). You should close the case when it's not in use so that it is out of harm's way. The cost of replacing the reed is high! In my opinion, these beat the plastic Reeds and plasticovers from Bari by a mile.
This is my sixth year using these reeds, and I am satisfied with the While there are different preferences and requirements across the board for saxophone, there is no doubt that there are individual preferences. As I use the mouthpiece most of the time, I love leaving the reed on, and gently cleaning it (and all the other parts after each use). It is possible for the reeds to stay alive and responsive for a few weeks, but it depends upon how many hours one plays per day/per week as well. In my recordings, I sometimes use an all-natural reed, but that is not always the case. It was a waste of money trying out the other synthetics since I play in a wind ensemble and a big band. You might even have an entirely different experience from me. There are a lot of variables involved in playing the saxophone, so it is difficult to make generalizations.
I'd like to compare them to the sound, feel, and play of an excellent When I was a child, I got a few weekends out of my rico cane reeds and it was hit or miss to get a good one from the 20 available. A cane reed can warp, and it will generally do so during a gig, unless you have it inserted all night into your mouth. The reeds are very consistent, no warp, and I get 3 to 5 months of use from each. In reality, they do start to soften up over time, but the real reason they don't last is because the flat side is coated with a thin layer of plastic, which bubbles up or slides to one side, making it impossible to play. The Reeds are my best option, though no reed is perfect, so I give them 5 stars.
With a medical problem causing me to have a very dry mouth, I am a beginner. It was important to me to have The following is true a reed that is easier to play. It seemed that my Rico 2 1/2 (of which I had tried several) was having issues. A great deal of happiness fills my heart. Moreover, synthetic reeds last longer than they do in natural cane. I do not think it is reasonable for students to use a cane in a naturally relaxed manner. It is supposed that they are superior to synthetic sounds, but I don't think so. Unless you are a professional player and can really (not pretending) hear the difference and it bothers you such that it bothers you so However, I understand there are pros who only play synthetic balls, so you can give it a try for your nickel. It was a nickel and I was happy about it.
After I ordered strength 2, I found that it was too soft for my mouthpieces once it arrived At the top of the upper register, a choking sound is heard. When I bought the 2, it was I expected it to be perfect with 5 strength. The 2 strength wasn't as good as I had expected. I noticed an anomaly when it arrived that didn't look right on the first attempt. Rather than being a beautiful round cut, the shoulder of the reed looked as if it had been reshaped using a dremel tool. Likewise, on the table-facing side of the reed, about 1 cm from the tip, there seemed to be some material scraped away or with "tool marks" (possibly from whatever was clamped on to modify it). Initially, I played the V16 cane reeds from Legere Signature Series and Legere Signature Series capos About 20 minutes later, I made another test with this reed and noticed right away that it did not play correctly either like the others. Wait! I thought it might be warped. It is not intended for synthetic reeds created from Kevlar or resin to have these issues. Surface of granite plate is level to 0, I would like to know how this is accomplished. The tip of this reed was significantly higher on one side of the tip than the other - our nominal reed thickness is 0. 0001 inches (100 microns). It is obvious why the player is having trouble playing and squeaking. The same cannot be said for any of my Legere or Vandoren canes.
There is a Yamaha YTS-300 that is like new The 26S tenor saxophone. Vandoren 2 was proving difficult for me to use due to extreme difficulty with it. We offer cane reeds in five and three strengths. It took me several days to even take this Fibracell reed out of its box when it arrived. As of tonight, it was just sitting on my nightstand. After struggling with some notes on the sax, I bought this reed to see if it would help. After a long time, the horn finally sounded like an instrument. It's surprising to see that something as little as reed can have such an impact. There is no doubt in my mind.
