I'm playing saxophone since 10 years and tried a lot of reeds from classic Vandoren to Legere plastics. But this is the ultimate answer for any saxophonist who wants to play Jazz, Swing, Rock, Blues etc. It's unbelievable easy to play with (M= 2.5-3) and has a full, deep sound. It's also waterresistant what means just wipe it off and it stays as it is for months. Speaking of durability, you can use the same reed for at least half a year if you are treating it fine. I have to say, for 27€ it is the best reed you can buy.
