The Reed that stopped my frustrations

I'm just going to have to say that this reed worked a miracle for me. I was looking for the perfect 'feel' when playing, (a feel that just tells you everything is right and your not going to squeak.) and Bari Star finally gave me that feel. When I first blew with this reed, it was like magic: altissimo notes never squeaked again, and blowing was so easy and free that I could hold notes and music phases much longer without the feel of running out of air. I was so happy because I had been search for the right reed that would be easy to blow with. I've Vandoren and a bunch of other reeds with high densities of 3 or 3.5: they helped but they much altissimo so much harder than the thinner reeds. With Bari Star, not only does the reed never die out but it makes blowing and altissimo notes so much easier. If your looking for a reed that'll make playing easier and more fun, Bari Star is for you.

Bari and Bari Star reeds produce a controlable spectrum of tones, dynamics, and subtle nuances over the entire sax range from warm bell tones to strong full top tones and altissimos. They record well, and respond quickly to staccatos, and wide ranging tongued and slurred intervals. What's more, they have a long life and never die in the middle of a performance! Their stability and resilience are a help for students having difficulty establishing an embouchure, or squeaking on conventional reeds. Take care attaching and adjusting them to the mouthpiece as they need to be positioned in the best place for individual jaw and lip differences.
