Rigotti Tenor Saxophone Reed (2.0 Medium)

For more than a decade, I've used Rigotti Gold reeds on all of my saxophones. I like that each grade has three strengths, whereas many brands only have one. This allows you to fine-tune the strength you require to an extent that no other brand can match. In the continuum, the 3 Strong and 3 1/2 Medium are separated by two strengths. These strengths, in my opinion, correspond to various tip openings. On tenor, I'd open with a 3 strong on a 9 tip, a 3 1/2 light on an 8* tip, and a 3 1/2 medium on an 8. br>br>It's a bit like Goldilocks - it's just right. If the 3 Strong is too light and the 3 1/2 Medium is too strong, I'm guessing a 3 1/2 Light will be "just right." I hope you found this information to be useful.
