Members scooter Posted August 6, 2009 Members Share Posted August 6, 2009 Are they worth the extra money.? I like the idea that they can last months at a time, how does sound quality compare.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimOBrien Posted August 6, 2009 Members Share Posted August 6, 2009 ANY reed brand you get is subjective; the only thing you can do is try one and see if you like them. I hated the early Rico Plasticovers but now I really like them.I've only tried one of the Bari reeds and didn't care for it.I really like the Fibracells; they do seem to last forever. I also seem to prefer them about a 1/2 softer; I'm now down to a 2.5 on my tenor. But some people are pickier than others; it all boils down to what YOU like.

Members soundministries Posted August 11, 2009 Members Share Posted August 11, 2009 I have recomended them to my beginning band students as most of the kiddos go through a couple of regular reeds a week so the cost offsets itself. I use them for myself (Bari or Fibracell) but primarily so that I can set up a clarinet or a sax to keep at the front of my band room so I can just pick up and play with my students. Beyond that I think it is up to the individual. Try it and see what you think; if you're happy with the sound use it, if you're not then you are only out a few extra bucks.
