Rico Hemke 2.5 Strength Reeds for Alto Sax (Pack of 5)

Love these reeds. They produce a mellow and rounded sound. Always makes me think of Johnny Hodges and Paul Desmond.

They seem to work to extend I can judge considering my skill :P

Great

I used these reeds for my LTCL examination, and I am very impressed with them. They provide a very warm sound when played with my selmer sax, no to mention that the flexibility of these are also incredible, allowing me to play in different dynamics in passages. It is a comparatively smoother sounding box of reeds, which I'd say its more suitable for classical saxophone player. If you are more into jazz saxophone, I would recommend reeds by Vandoren, as they produce a sharper and edgier sound.

My fave stalwart Alto Sax Reed, strength 3. Decades of playing these - always!

The sound these reeds have took the whole instrument up another level! It was actually so surprising, I’ve not played with another brand since I bought them. I’ve had to play at so many events since buying them and everyone has nothing but compliments for the sound. I am a professional but there’s nothing wrong with beginners using these too. Go ahead and buy them you won’t be disappointed!!

Very consistent. Reliable resistance. A very nice French filed alto reed. Cheaper than a lot of fancy reeds. Sweet.

It’s a good quality Reed for a serious player

My saxophone sounds so much better with these reeds than the standard, cheap ones that had came with it. You can feel and hear the difference of quality. It's worth the purchase at a great price!

they delivered and none were cracked!!! They look hand made and they have a smooth look to them. Also the files down tip has a great texture to it and feels amazing when playing

サックスの先生から、3.5を使ってみなさいと言われてこのリードを選択しました。届いて直ぐに使いましたが、私の力量では今までの3に比較すると大分固いような感じです。これから少しずつ慣れて行けば、良い音で演奏できると思います。このリードは皆さんが品質の安定感を記載されているので、安心して購入できました。 尚、店から送付された梱包や同封案内なども、とてもていねいで好感がもてました。

まず、姿形が良いと思った。吹いてみると、吹きやすく自分として良い音が出た。樹脂のリードがT耐久力がないと思っていたので変えることにした。続けて使いたいと思った。,

Good reeds. Last for quite a long time.
