Re: Bravo reeds?

Thanks for reporting on them. I have been wondering if any of the new synthetic reeds are any better than what is lacking in the current synthetic line-up. I tried several different brands on sax and clarinet a couple of years ago and they just don't cut it for me because of that weird, non-clarinet buzz they all seem to have. You could get away with it on sax since "buzz" is kind of the sound a lot of saxophonists are looking for but on the clarinet, it makes me feel like the clarinet wants to be a soprano sax but can't really get there.

Your description of the "a bit brighter" and the sensitivity to placement on the mouthpiece along with the many comments I've read similar to, "I wouldn't use them in a concert or orchestral setting" confirms that they really haven't changed in terms of usability for me.
