About two weeks ago Bill Fogle asked if anyone had experience with
Alexander Superial reeds. I'm about to order some for tenor sax, so I
don't have first hand experience . . . yet.

They are made and sold by Ralph Morgan. Ralph claims to do things "the
old fashioned way," using charts, graphs, and methods that have proven
themselves over the years. He has tables that match reed strength to
mouthpiece lay. One would have to presume that these numbers are good
for his reeds and mouthpieces; they might not work for other brands.

If you have any questions, I recommend that you talk directly to Ralph.
He's a kindly gentleman and a wealth of information, eager to help
anyone improve the art of music.
