Bravo Gk Premium Synthetic Reeds for Tenor Sax: Strength 3.0. Box of 5, $35, Designed in California

Go with a Legere reed if you can afford it. These reeds really are just like cane reeds in one way: they WARP! That's right, when they've been played for a little bit, they warp just like a low-quality cane reed, crinkled like a Japanese fan! I thought the theory behind synthetic reeds is to not have to buy reeds as often! The tone quality is harsh, brittle and thin with my set-up. Avoid! Spend the extra $ and get a high-end brand.
