Why???? OK, I figured it out – Love these soft reeds on tenor. After they get wimpy, I very carefully trim the edges with super sharp scissors and then shave the vamp as needed with a reed geek and sometimes get good as new. But here I am ready to buy a few more and Amazon prime is $11 per reed higher that other vendors. (I’ll buy 2 and qualify for free shipping there, too.)

As time goes on I’m liking this reed more – I have a number Fibracell synthetic reeds in different strengths. I have for both my tenor and my alto. For years I have used traditional bamboo reeds from a well known producer and I would frequently play through a bunch of them trying to find one I liked. That play testing included one or more of my Fibracell reeds. They played OK but not the same as the bamboo reeds. And BTW, I also have a few sample synthetic reeds by other providers which I would test play too. This went on for quite some time and each time I test played a bunch of reeds I would end up settling on a bamboo reed. Until recently when none of the bamboo reeds played as well as the Fibracell reed. And so I settled on it and I played it for a few days until one day I realized I was liking the reed. Does it play the same as bamboo? No. Does it sound good? Different but good, you just have to get used to it to appreciate it. And so when my Fibracell reed finally wore out I bought another one. When this one fails I will buy another.

Great sound! – I’ve used this reed for years and it has been great for me. At first you may find the response of the reed to be too sensitive and loud but after some practice you’ll get used to it and adjust. The only problem I’ve found is that every now and then the reed you order will be a dud but that’s to be expected with any reed you order.

Experience – Sizing on these is way off. One has to go a whole step harder and when they do fail they just split length wise. I’ve got tied several time to get them to go, but in the end they end up in the trash. Good luck.

Every reed consistently the same quality – Jeeezzzz, I love the consistency of these reeds. Every reed the same! I started out my sax adventure on several boxes of #2.5 Rico reeds. I’d number them so I could return to one or three in the box which were rewarding to play. Switching to Fibracell I eliminated the variable question of whether I was playing poorly or was it the cane reed. I was a novice and knew nothing. I tried my first Fibracell synthetic at the 2.5 level and now after a couple years I’m using a #3.5, putting in probably 3-5 hours a week, and I’ve had the same reed on the mouthpiece for over 6 months with no sign of deterioration. I just got a #4 but I’ve not got the chops for it. Had to try it though cause otherwise I might find myself missing out, ha. I seldom take the reed off the mouthpiece until I feel guilty about the scum accumulating. I have a second metal mouthpiece that I traded an old cell phone for with, a fibracell “permanently” affixed to both. I keep one on my music stand and when I think a song requires the sound of the other, I switch them and off I go. No soaking, licking, prepping….they just take off playing. Love it! I’m definitely not an accomplished player but eliminating reed variability eliminated the frustration. You really should try a synthetic reed and review it for the rest of us. Maybe I’ll try a different brand someday, but right now I’ve found one that works and couldn’t be happier.
