I use 3S unfiled RJS's on my Barone tenor piece--he said those were what to use, so I didn't argue and they have worked for me.
On alto, I was a devoted Vandoren Java player, then discovered the Alexander's. After getting a Lamberson HR piece for my alto, the above no longer worked. Fred suggested using the Vandoren V16s. I tried those and they just felt awful. The reed that has worked the best for me on alto now has been the RJS's 3S filed! I do miss the Vandorens and the Alexanders--maybe it's the packaging!--but they just seemed to be a higher quality product and yet I've been very pleased with RJS's on both horns. This stuff will drive you crazy....
