Reeds

[mikestefano2001]

Boy it never ends - this is just like guitar playing or golf - equipment, equipment, equipment :shock:

So I've got my SDA alto, my meyer 6MM, my Rovner ligature and now I'm looking for the perfect reed. Tried Rico Royal 2.5 and Vandoren 2.5 (which I really hate) and ran across something called "Integra" 2 and 2.5 and I love them, but can't find them anywhere. Any ideas about reeds for the setup I've mentioned. I'm trying to play bebop - Phil Woods look out!

I have been very impressed with Marca Jazz reeds, also recommend the new Vandoren ZZ, both worth a try IMHO.

I use Plasticover and Alexander Superials on my SDA. Both are worth trying out.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll be in Toronto in a couple of weeks and hopefully will find a better selection there to choose from
