Francois Louis Classique Reeds - Alto

These play about one half strength harder than the "Excellence" reed and is similar in strenght to a Vandoren Traditional (Blue Box). (Alto "Classique" #3 plays more like #3.5 "Excellence".) Everyone that has purchased these has commented that NEARLY EVERY REED played out of the box! I use them myselft and love them! That makes your price per reed lower than other brands which usually have only 2 or 3 reeds playing well out of the box. These are the best playing reeds I have come across in the last 10 or 15 years! The Classique Reeds are available for alto saxophone and for clarinet, in strengths from 2 - 5. Check the reed strength chart to see how they compare to your current reed. http://francois-louis.com/faq/faq-4 French File Cut. Price per box of 10.
