Bari Soprano Saxophone Reed - Synthetic
Bari is the top of the line brand for synthetic reeds. Synthetic reeds like these will usually last several times longer than traditional reeds. They can still be chipped or cracked, but they will not wear out like traditional cane. The reeds are formulated to sound as similar to cane reeds as possible, but there is a difference. Because of this, we do not recommend synthetic reeds for most concert band situations. We do however recommend these reeds for use in marching band or jazz band where the greater stability of the synthetic reed is a greater asset. Reeds can not be returned.
Reeds are typically available in strengths of 1 through 5 (some brands label their reeds as Soft, Medium Soft, ... through Hard). In general, the lower the number, the easier it is to play most notes. The down side, is that the lower number reeds just don't sound as nice, and make it harder to hit high notes.
As a general rule, we recommend reeds with a strength of 2 (Soft) for people just getting started, and strength 2 1/2 (Medium Soft) for people who have played for a year (less time if they take lessons). The harder reeds should only be used after using the next softer size of reed for six months to a year, or at the recommendation of a private instructor or band director.

Another Product You Might Enjoy
Since the original book (Favorite Hymns, Book 1) was so popular, Warner Bros. decided to print a sequel book, and here it is. This exciting folio is arranged for instrumental solo, duet, or trio. The songs sound great with one player (or one player and a piano accompaniment) but they sound even better with additional musicians. The parts are included for up to 3 players. Any combination of instruments may be used, but each performer would need to use the book written for his own instrument. "Favorite Hymns Book 2 - Alto Saxophone Sheet Music" weighs 6.40 oz.
