Well i been using 3 1/2 and nothing comes out. But on a La Voz Meduim it comes perfectlydstack79 said:ZZ's seem to respond particularly well in the altissimo register for me. They do tend to run softer, so you maybe it's a strength issue?

Have you tried several ZZ's or just a few? Do the 3.5's feel too hard? That'd seem to be a lot different than a LaVoz Medium. Sometimes if one overdoes the harder reed thing, altissimo can be harder. You might actually want to try dropping down to a #3 on the ZZ if you decide you really like them.texacan said:Well i been using 3 1/2 and nothing comes out. But on a La Voz Meduim it comes perfectly
According to Rico, a LaVoz Medium is in between a ZZ 2.5 and 3. So it's AT LEAST a half strength softer than a ZZ 3.5.dstack79 said:Have you tried several ZZ's or just a few?
