About Glory Reeds Alto Saxophone Reed Size #3
Overall Feedback:
71% positive
74% appreciated the durability, though 26% didn't
The alto-saxophone-reeds I use are of good quality. I am still on my 1st one and have had no issues.
I am still using my first alto-saxophone-reed and it has been durable with no issues so far.
My second reed for practice is not durable as it wilted quickly and is losing strength.
After a few weeks of steady use, one reed went soft and became unplayable, and it seems like another reed is also heading in the same direction.

77% praised the sound quality, while 23% found it lacking
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.
I noticed queaking on notes and it was frustrating to figure out the issue. The problem was resolved when I switched the reed with a rico one. The sound quality improved significantly.
I have noticed that the reeds do not last long and do not provide a quality learning experience.
For the past 2 weeks, I have noticed queaking on notes that I have no problem playing.
76% praised the reed's clear articulation, yet 24% desired more
These reeds consistently sound perfect on first use, which is the first time I have ever used reeds that have done so.
After switching the reed with a rico one, queaking on notes issue was resolved and it was like night and day.
76% liked the reed's flexibility, while 24% faced issues
I have never used reeds that consistently sound perfect on first use before.
My second reed for practice is wilting quickly and losing its strength.
76% appreciated the sensitivity, but 24% found it reactive
The sound produced by the reed straight from the package was better than all the reeds in my Vandoren SRMIXA25 Alto Sax Jazz Reed Mix, which shows the sensitivity of the reed.
After 2 weeks, I noticed a lot of queaking on notes while playing the alto-saxophone. It was frustrating until my private instructor switched the reed with a rico one. This shows that the reed is not sensitive enough and is causing problems.
The second reed I used for practice wilted quickly and is losing strength, indicating it's not sensitive enough to last.
77% liked the compact storage case, but 23% found it flimsy
I am still using my first alto-saxophone-reed with no issues and they are awesome in terms of storage ease.
I am expecting at least half of the remaining eight reeds to be unusable, indicating poor storage ease for the alto-saxophone-reeds.
