BetterSax Premium Alto Saxophone Reeds – 2.5 Strength (10-Pack): Organic French Cane, Superior Consistency & Rich Tone, Jazz Cut for Saxophonists of All Levels, Eco-Friendly, Plastic-Free Packaging

I play Alto sax, I use #2. I am in my 70's. I have more control with the #2. But could not hit some low notes. I tried one reed, and wow . I played for 2 hrs., and hit all the notes. I like the reed. Good sound and control. Thank you for this. Louis Bencivenga. Alto sax player......

Amazing reed. Switched from a 2.5 RICO. Instantly changed my sound and tone!!

Promised Jay on IG that I would get them and write a real review. THE GOOD: Played excellently right out of the box and is mad consistent throughout. And they play easily. I have trouble playing now because I took 10 years off. These are the best right out of the box.THE BAD: I don't like this sound at all. I want bright, and edgy. It can never be bright enough. These sound like jazz and concert had a baby. It's somewhat muted - maybe warm and round, but NOT bright.I do like when I really blow on like G or low D . . . it's the best I've ever sounded on those notes. But overall nah. I'll get a (really bright) SYOS mouthpiece soon and see how that combination works.

I love this BetterSax reed! Beautiful sound and very easy to play on. I enjoyed it much better than other #2 reeds. I carry them everywhere I go to play! Highly recommended.

Excelente

I’ve heard good things about these reeds but I’ll never know because in two orders, both times GearNuts / Amazon sent me 3.5 strength instead of the 2.5 strength that I ordered. Not once but twice.

I had purchased the 2.0 for my alto saxophone and found them to be excellent reeds. Very good quality reeds. Fast delivery. I do recommend the company.

I've played sax for many years. Finding consistent quality reeds was always a problem no matter the price. These reeds are not only excellent they are very consistent. All in the box are great reeds. I'm using the 3.0 alto reeds on a vintage Gregory mouthpiece. They have the sound and feel I like if the "feel" makes any sense. I mean they are controllable and versatile. I have found my favorite brand of reeds.
