Review: Great sound . - I been playing saxophone for about 9 years now and so far these reeds been great , I have these Reeds paired up with a metal berg Larsen mouth piece and for my genre of music does what it need to do .
Review: A Great Alternative Synthetic Reed ! - I wonder why no one has written about these reeds? They are a great idea that ACTUALLY works well! There are plenty of synthetic reeds to choose from. I tried the highly praised Legere Signature Reed. It was expensive but supposed to last. Mine lasted only one time. After two hours it was torn or more like a crack, on the edge. I was very careful with it but it was not usable again. I'm pretty sure it was a fluke but I couldn't afford to order another $32 reed. I looked around for competing synthetic reeds but ordered more regular Rico reeds. They are high quality standard reeds. So I thought to check there product line and they do have this unique reed that's both natural and synthetic. It's a real reed covered in a plastic coating, except the back part of the top where it is labeled. It works great! It's name says it all - Plasticover Reeds! My first one lasted 3 WEEKS! It would have lasted longer but caught the edge putting on the ligature. It didn't tear, but it bent it. I'm on the 3rd week on my second Plasticover reed and Ipracticing two hours a day - every day! These D'Addario Woodwinds Rico Plasticover are a pleasure to play! I've been working on getting different textures to the sound and this reed works well with the various pressures I've tried! You do NOT need to soak them, but make sure you rinse them off after using them and still handle with care (that is perfect for me!). They come in the standard sizes from 1.5 to 4, in half steps. I thought they would feel a little thicker then the other regular reeds of the same size, but they don't! The other choice you have is to buy a box of 5 or 25. Choose either one because each one lasts a long time! They are a little more expensive then the corresponding regular reeds, but very a great value when you can use they same one for weeks at a time! The feel for the reed is normal, the plastic coating is smooth and again, lasts a long time!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great reeds!
*by S***G on May 22, 2018*

I have tried nearly every reed on the market in my twenty year career as a saxophonist, but I always return to my the Plasticovers. I have always found cane reeds to have a stuffy sound and less than desirable responsiveness, and I can't seem to get into the hype of synthetics. These are without a doubt the best reeds I have ever used. My current setup consists of a Yamaha YAS-875EXB with a Beechler Bellite #8 using the stock ligature and size 2.5 Plasticovers, and I absolutely love the bright pop sound that I achieve with this setup. I appreciate that there is little to no break-in time for these reeds and that changes in temperature and climate do not appear to affect them in any way. One thing I will say is that these reeds tend to sound better on metal mouthpieces. I have tried to use them with a Jody Jazz Jet 7, but there's a noticeable "plastic" sound. All in all, these are great reeds and I would most definitely recommend that someone at least give them a try.
