Not too bad
Michael C. 753 21.07.2013
It's good alternative for a natural based reed, I played it for a good as it's quick to start with as you don't have to moisten this reed, however the sound is not as warm and toned as a traditional type and I found the higher notes much harder to get to. This reed will last a long time but won't just give you that warm mellow sound.

Sehr gut fürs Erste
Michael791 13.09.2012
Das Blatt besticht durch extrem einfache Ansprache in allen Registern. Der Ton ist satt und weich. Die tiefen Töne sind erstaunlich leicht anzuspielen und klingen gut.

Das Blatt ist immer spielbereit, bedarf keiner Nachbearbeitung und schon gar keiner Auslese. Die Blätter kommen in vorhersehbar guter Qualität. Soweit eine Empfehlung für den Anfänger. - Doch Vorsicht : In hohen Lagen, insbesondere bei extremer Dynamik, wird der Ton schnell dünn und brüchig.

Außerdem fehlt auch in den mittleren und unteren Lagen die beim Holzblatt bei hoher Dynamik auftretende Stabilität und Kraft im Ton. - Die Holzpower sozusagen - Die Profis unter Euch werden sich weiterhin dem zeitraubenderen Holzblatt abgeben.

Perfekt zum endlosen Üben...
Andy aus P. 28.03.2013
Das Blatt wird auf einem Yamaha C4 Mundstück und dem YAS 275 gespielt. Diese Kombination erfreut jeden Anfänger durch eine einfache Ansprache. Das Üben wird selten durch einen misslungenen Ansatz gestört und man kann sich voll auf den Fingersatz und das Timing konzentrieren.
Das Blatt ist sofort spielbereit und verändert seine Eigenschaften nicht. Verschleißerscheinungen sind nach ca.50Stunden nicht zu erkennen.
Der Klang ist (leider) sehr steril und gerade (Vergleich mit Vandoren JAVA 2). Was noch von dem eher klassischen C4 Mundstück unterstützt wird. Daher nix für den sonoren Jazzer.
Die Stärke 2 ist wie erwartet, schließt jedoch bei leidenschaftlichen Spielen.
Spitze zum Üben aber klanglich demotivierend wenn man zuvor ein gutes Holz gespielt hat - zumindest auf einem C4 Mundstück.
