Surprised of good quality and most of all how many of the bunch of 5 are usable. Compared to regular reeds these plastic cover reeds seem to be ready for use right from the box.

I prefer these to traditional reeds any day. I'm lazy and don't like soaking reeds and even going through the prep process before using them, so these have been a lifesaver. I also like the sound and tone that are produces from these over regular reeds. I will be buying these again, as the plastic does wear off, but they still last longer and break less than traditional ones, in my experience.

A friend who is a retired professional sax player recommended I try a plastic coated or synthetic reed. I bought a box of Rico Plasticovers for my alto and became a fan. Someone pointed out the black plastic makes them harder to centre and I can't argue with that. I find you need good light but I got used to that pretty quickly. Love that I can set an instrument down and pick it up later play without rewetting the reed.

Love these plasticover soprano sax reeds and you have to use it for a little while to break it in until the reed is well broken in and then you have a very nice mellow sound coming out your sax.
