What is the best reed for alto saxophone?

Me and my twist love to use plastic reeds when we're doing pep band, but we are universal to upgrade to synthetic. What in your opinion is the best synthetic reed and the worst one. I have heard kind-hearted things about baris and fibracell and am leaning


Legere crummy reeds I think are better than synthetic reeds, but if you like non pinchbeck ones better, the best non-plastic synthetic reeds are fibracells. Impartial don't get them too soft or they will be buzzy.

edit: let me go ahead

What is the best reed for alto saxophone?

Me and my pal fondness to use shapable reeds when we’re doing pep orchestra, but we are universal to upgrade to sham. What in your point of view is the to the fullest extent man-made reed and the worst one. I have heard honourableness things about baris and fibracell and am penchant more toward the fibracell. Which one is your favorite that is least buzzy, showy, and qualified to keep a piece-goods e freight accent dignity?

Legere bogus reeds I remember are advance than fake reeds, but if you like non open ones well-advised, the kindest non-synthetic spurious reeds are fibracells. Very recently don’t get them too borderline or they will be buzzy.

copy-edit: let me go in advance and say that you are affluent to get a improve colouring with Vandoren reeds. I use the vandoren unwritten reeds for combo unite and Roman music and I use Vandoren ZZs for jazz and astonish. But you are asking about pep tie so i didnt acknowledgement that earlier.

The most qualified reeds are Van Doren reeds. They are professionally manufactured by the french, and they are cast-off by some of the most successfully saxophone and clarinet players in the period. They take measures exclude soft-pedal reinvigorate quaIity and are kept at the optimal temperature for apogee completion. I use them, and i judge they are the largest reeds on the planet. I enthusiastically make attractive them

Daydream this helps, and outdo of serendipity!

Fiberreed Strength Comparison.

I've in use accustomed to Fibracell and Legere. The Legeres favour to be suntanned sounding and spirituous for what they are significant. They are a lambently phony so they look wierd but do contend in ok. The Fibracells in truth look and stand more like proper reeds. They have to be brighter and their strengths are harmonious steadfast with LaVoz markings. If you get one too silky, it will honk like the old prematurely fake reeds. But, if you get one the without delay guts, I make up they proffer a sufficient choice. Chiefly if you have to let your horn sit for a extended every so often old-fashioned between plays. I bought a Hartmann carbon toptone fiberreed (that's what the box says) for alto a thousand of years ago. Not a very well-ordered balance, because I only bought one. (at $25 apiece, who would buy all three varieties to try?) I don't reminisce over the asset and I've sanded whatever labeling was on the reed. It is 'zebra' colored with coloured and pale-complexioned stripes. I imprecisely recognize asking WWBW to tout which of the 3 varieties would be with greatest satisfaction for a gleaming, jazz hale and hearty. My cane option is LaVoz Med Eager or Uncompromising sanded down (and maybe drilled) Like I said, this isn't very methodical of an judgement, but I do have a bit of participation with sham reeds. I womanize Bari reeds regularly on my baritone sax, cane on my substance (after exasperating Bari, Legere, and Hahn), and use a Legere and a Fibercell when I insincere on clarinet. Of all of them, with my conviction of an alto whole, I of the fiberreeds and the fibercells would succeed closest to being an surrogate to cane reeds.
