Just saw several Ebay offerings for Alto, some under $3. Different colors no strength sizes or markings, but they say for students so I guess they would be on the softer side..My alto mpcs are wide tips and I use soft fibras or Legeres.. If the Chinese can clone everything else a Three buck synthetic that plays would be great news..Damn Legeres can be $40 apiece, even a single Fibra burns up a $20 these days.
I guess I gotta blow 3 bucks and order one..Funny how one of my best synths on Tenor is an old unbranded thing, not a marking on it, it's reed colored too, I have no idea what the actual strength size is.. the thing plays great on several of my tenor mpcs..in all fairness my expensive Legere's I love and I have a small collection of Fibracells that I still play too. But the synths are so damned expensive to try out I haven't experimented with a lot of the newer brand Synths Forestone's Hartmanns etc etc....
Anybody tried one these Chinese plastic jewels yet ???
