Product Description

Bari is the top-of-the-line brand for synthetic reeds. Synthetic reeds will usually last several times longer than traditional reeds.

I recently purchased this reed, and I LOVE IT. When I got this in the mail, it came in a nice little plastic case for protection. It plays very nice, and I will surely buy this again.

PROS
Good feel
Doesn't need to be broken in
Much sturdier than cane

CONS
Slightly louder than cane, so just work on control
Hard to align on the mouthpiece

All in all, I would recommend this reed for anybody.

P.S This is GREAT in marching band =)

I have a tenor and alto sax and started using these when they didn't have any reeds in the size I wanted at the local music shop. The guy said he'd refund my money if I didn't like them. So with nothing to loose I took one home. I used it for 3 months playing for about 2 hours every day. Yeah, I was hooked. They are louder than cane reeds and don't require any set-up like getting them moist before you use them. You can pick up your sax and play. These reeds don't chip or require the attention of cane and they last longer. For the price of a box of reeds you get more playing time with less hassle. Buy one and see. I've converted to these and haven't looked back.
I have used (and reviewed) the soft, medium, medium-soft, medium-hard, and hard reeds from Bari and they are all great. I prefer the mediums for my ability.

I purchased this for my son, he was going through reeds for his saxophone faster than we could buy them. It works great, and has a really nice sound. There was a brief adjustment, but he really likes this new reed also.
