"D'Addario reeds are my absolute favorite reeds to play on all my saxophones. I recommend them to all my students. They offer superb sound and tone quality, as well as incredible response and facility. Beyond the amazing sound I'm able to achieve with D'Addario reeds, they are also the most consistent reeds available across the globe. D'Addario reeds give me the most flexibility and freedom to express myself and create my voice on the saxophone."
