  1. Alto mpc
    Hey guys so i’ve been through my fair share of mouthpieces, and seem to keep coming back to my trusty Meyer 5m from the 90s. Knowing that this is pretty much the benchmark where most all alto mouthpieces are measured against how would you compare a regular Java and or a diamond inlay to a...

    Heads-up, Musician's Friend new policy (for around a month, apparently) is not to accept any return of reeds--even if box is still factory-sealed in cellophane. I know I have returned unopened boxes in the past, perhaps with a supervisor over-ride. But no longer. So, I have a brand new box of...

    I bought the Vandoren variety pack of alto reeds in strength 3. The comparison chart that came with it says the Java reds are a little harder than the greens. But, with the reeds I got it feels very much the other way -- the red feels substantially softer than the green. In fact, the red is a...

    Hello everyone, I have a Lebayle LRII metal tenor MPC which I am using right now with JAVA red 2.5 on my keilwerth SX90.. I love the tone and the power of the MPC but I am not a big fan of its performance.. Just wondering if anyone knows similar mpcs with relatively close tonal qualities...

    Hello everyone, Just wondering if anyone is using the Lebayle LRII metal tenor and what reed goes well with it. I have tried many brands/thicknesses, the only one that worked was the Java Red and green to a certain extent. All others have been dead or squeaky.. Not sure if there's something...

    Hello everybody on SOTW, does anybody has ever tried that three different type of reeds (specialy for tenor)? And can tell more about the specifity of each ? The more dark, the more bright, the more grainy etc etc Thanks!
  7. Tenor mpc
    Im looking to buy a new tenor jazz mouthpiece, and am interested in Vandorens java series. For lack of a better format, my questions go as follows: 1) If I want a piece thats not ridiculous to control (rules out T95 maybe even T75) but still lets me play with sound and character, which should...

    Hello! I currently play Vandoren Java Red 3's and I think the combination with my mouthpiece is a little unsuited for jazz. I was thinking of switching to another Vandoren Jazz model or even purchase the Vandoren trial package, but I'd like to hear what you jazz saxophonists play first. Post...

    Hi folks, I'm thinking of ordering a forestone unfiled for my tenor. But since the reeds a quite expensive I want to be shure about the strenght. I heard that there were several issues about the strength and the reliabilit of forestones comparison chart in the past. Usually I play Rico Select...

    Hi, I'm looking for advice and comparisons for filed reeds between the Java 2.5's and 3's (which I have and have tried). For my Tenor setup, a Java 3 is definitely too hard, and the Java 2.5 is playable, but a little on the soft side... So I'm looking for a filed reed in between those. I...

    I've really been enjoying the La Voz medium reeds I have been playing on my Otto Link STM 7* on tenor, but I have difficulty describing what it is I like about them. I've heard people call them bright, dark, smooth, edgy, awful, amazing, responsive, unresponsive, consistent, inconsistent, long...

    Right now I play on an Otto Link STM 7 on tenor, usually with green Java 3's. I play all different styles of music, with jazz being the primary. Occasionally, however, I find that I am unable to produce enough edge or cut to play certain modern styles. I would like to brighten my tone a little...
