Gonzalez MALBEC Tenor Saxophone 2.5

Weird reeds... cut so sharply at their edges one of them actually cut the side of my lip while vibrating on a low Bb. Buzzy, faded sound, sounds more like a student or a practice reed, something only you would bear hearing. Definitely not for shows and performances, as it's the exact opposite of reliable. Out of a box of 5, only 1 reed was worth practicing on. Note: I did resurface the reeds to give them a second chance, but it just made horrible reeds turn to bad reeds. Still, not worth it. A reed box should have mostly "practice" reeds and 1 or 2 good performers. Stick to Rigotti , D'Addario and Vandoren, they're well known for a reason.
