Great Reeds

Alex K. 2 21.01.2024

I was trying to find and buy the boston sax reeds in Europe and i found the Francois Louis reeds that are also made from rigotti in France. After a search i found out that a lot of saxophonists found the Francois Louis reeds similar to the Boston sax reeds so i bought them to try them.

The sound is really warm and projecting. I am using the unfiled rico or jazz select and i found the Francois Louis to be darker and warmer so i am happy with the sound. Straight out of the box i found 2 with a kinda not good sound. 3 needed to be fixed because they where stronger than 2,5 and 1 needed to be cut because it was lighter.
In total i think that the 2,5 although it is between the 2m and 2h jazz select in strength, and the same strength with 2,5 rico and vandoreen java on the charts, i think that in reality they are a bit stronger.

I will update my review after i use them for a longer time in other settings.
