About Glory Reeds Alto Saxophone Reed Size #2.5
Overall Feedback:
84% positive
80% praised the reed's clear articulation, yet 20% desired more
The sound quality of the reed straight from the package is better than all the reeds in my Vandoren SRMIXA25 Alto Sax Jazz Reed Mix.
Despite the attractive price tag, the reeds do not offer a quality learning experience and do not last long.
81% appreciated the durability, though 19% didn't
For practice, I can play the second reed but it's barely usable for public performance.
After a few weeks of steady use, the first reed in the box went soft and then became unplayable. This indicates that the durability of the reeds is not up to the mark.
After 2 weeks of usage, I noticed queaking on notes, indicating that the durability of the reed may not be good.
84% appreciated the sensitivity, but 16% found it reactive
The sound of the reed straight from the package is better than all the reeds in my Vandoren SRMIXA25 Alto Sax Jazz Reed Mix.
After using the reed for 2 weeks, I noticed a lot of queaking on notes. I was unable to figure it out until my private instructor switched my reed with a rico one, which solved the issue.

I cannot comment on the sound quality as it is the first time my 5th grader is playing it. Four of them came broken.
I experienced a lot of squeaking on notes which was frustrating. However, my private instructor switched my reed with a rico one and it made a huge difference.
