Solid, sturdy, great for practice
Great plastic covered reeds The sound that they produce is slightly inferior compared to a normal cane reed, they sound more harsh and brassy, so obviously you will not be using them in performances. However, the upside to this is that they are very sturdy and much more durable compared to the soft normal bamboo ones, can be used in long sessions and if you want to practice in long sessions on your sax (and you do, since all good players do this) this is a must have. I have been using these for a while with one reed working well multiple months! They are also a bit easier to get a sound out of compared to traditional reed, so if you are just starting or practicing: These are really great

Used for 20 years and counting.
Arrived promptly. I've used these reeds for over 20 years now. Always consistent and never a bad one. The plastic coating incredibly thin and keeps your reeds for longer. I love the sound too. I play with a DG king Curtis silver mouthpiece and get a great crisp Jazz soul sound like King Curtis, junior walker etc.

A great reed
A great reed to get started playing, they stay sound even after lengthy playing.

High quality, consistent in strength/tone, good value for money
Recommended by my pro tutor, these reads are great, extremely consistent and appear to last longer than the Vandoren natural cane reads I was using.

Brilliant so far!
My first try with plasticover reeds and so far I am really happy, reed out the box and immediately playing well. More comfortable on my bottom lip as well which is a bonus. Will certainly be buying again!

value for money
Would recommend reeds as being good quality and value. Last a lot longer than normal reeds even considering the price difference. Also good for beginners.

I now use these tennis saxophone Reeds all the time as they give me a good sound, last much longer and are much more reliable than Kane reeds.

Bon son, pas besoin de chercher laquelle sera bonne dans la boite, dès la première, c'est tout de suite agréable à jouer. (2.5 avec un ottolink 7)

Yo siempre he sido usuario de este tipo de cañas ya que el sonido no varía, ni se ve afectada por la humedad y temperatura como pasa con las cañas de madera no recubiertas . (Es una opinión y gusto personal) yo utilizo boquilla de metal.

Es lo que me esperaba, todo correcto

Je m'attendais à avoir un son assez brillant avec cette Plasticover 3, et c'est plutôt le contraire. Le son est très mat, sourd, l'anche un peu plus dure que la moyenne des anches 3. Une anche Fribracell 3 me convient beaucoup mieux, avec un prix beaucoup plus élevé.
