Great reed!
I have been playing the saxophone for over 25 years and have always used traditional reeds. I have looked at fibre reeds many times, but have always been doubtful. I decided, however, to give this one a go after reading many reviews about it.
I have to say that I am very impressed with the sound of the reed. I play on a metal otto link 8* mouthpiece and this reed helps perfectly to produce the warm sound that I like best.
I think that the price is reasonable for a long-lasting reed. The only reason why I gave 4 stars for 'quality' is because I have had to shave the sides of the reed down as it persistently cut my bottom lip in the start (there's lots about this on the net).
Else a really great, robust reed with a very full and round sound.

Perfect reed
After so many years playing a cane reed I have decided to try synthetic reeds. I was playing Vandoren Java 3. I ordered two reeds. The Fiberreed Onyx size M and also Legere - 2,5. Both are easy blowing but the Onyx plays the Low range and the altissimo range much easier. It has a dark sound - not as dark as the Legere. On the other hand if you push it it has much more power and edge. It is perfect if you have to play quieter and every once in a while to cut through the sound of the band for a solo. I am very satisfied with the reed.
