Yamaha Alto Saxophone Reed 2.5

As any synthetic reeds, it's a durable and very consistent one which is to like . I loved the fact that Yamaha decided to give its reeds the same colour and feel as a cane one . It's slightly gritty on the tongue versus the plastic softness of the Legere .
In term of sound (I choose a 2.5) i found it slightly darker than the bright Legere studio . The response is maybe a bit slower and the reed harder on the lips than the Legere .
Overall, it's a great one to try but I find that articulations are easier on Legere . Again I only tried 1 strength but i think it's a good option to help students achieve consistency if they struggle with squeaky noises .
