Review: Excellent reeds - I use these for Bari, tenor and alto saxophones. Always reliable, quality consistent. Reeds do not dry out on stage between tunes/changeover.
Review: Good progress - How wonderful, My other half has started playing the Sax and has as a novice experienced issues with ordinary reeds splitting etc. trying to find something that suited has been a real problem... ( having tried several grades and manufacturers products.) We decided to try these plasctic covered reeds .. and have an imediate result. Not only are they more comfortable to use, but it has actually made the instrument easier to play all scales are easier to reach and the sound is better too. rich and deep to bright full tones as the higher notes are reached. these have transformed playing and given more confidence. Delivery and packaging were exellent, a very big thank you.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are they plastic reeds or wooden**
A: Hi Oliver, they are cane reads with a plastic coating.  They are intended to avoid drying out during a rest.  I was recommended to try these by a pro who plays tenor and alto for gigs - the reads don’t dry out so no warping or squawking!

**Q: do you have to soak these reeds in water before using them?**
A: No; the plastic coating will stop the water penetrating. I usually moisten it in my mouth, but that's just force of habit: I don't think it makes any difference.  However, a Plasticover reed will play harder than a moistened cane reed of the same strength number, so you will need to experiment to find the best strength - maybe a half or a whole number less than you normally use. I use this reed when I need consistency "out of the box", but if you like to adjust your reeds, then you would remove the plastic coating, in which case there's no point.
