coming from a cane reed, I was a bit skeptical of the synthetic reeds.
After getting over the the feeling in the mouth where the reeds doesn't really get wet, everything that came after is a breeze.
each time you pick it up, it blows the same way from the first note.
storage wise, it's less sensitive to storage condition, a big plus in my opinion.
sounds good, depends a lot on the player and the mouth piece. The reed does it job allowing the musician to express themselves.
