Seems ok but the sound is really bright
Alex K. 2 12.01.2024
I bought this, because i wanted to try a synthetic reed and i was immediately convinced, about it, when i read that it is the darkest reed.
This reed looks plastic but has a cover up from hemp or something. The sound is really bright and not at all dark.
I play jazz and have a philtone metal mouthpiece and in the past, I've tried a VENN DAddario synthetic reed, which played ok but it was still on the bright side, though with a lot of darkness, but you could still tell its synthetic. I was hoping that the hemp fiberreed would be darker, but it is not... If you want a dark synthetic reed the closest youll get is with a venn. I think that synthetic reeds are for more modern music tastes and if you play jazz then, in my opinion, never buy a synthetic reed.
If you are looking for a synthetic reed and you want a bright sound then this reed is awesome for you! The response is brilliant and its really easy to play in all registers. You might want to try a stronger reed than the one you play though because it seems to be a bit soft.

I Do Like This Reed!
StumbleUK 11.12.2019
When my Tenor Sax reed failed at a critical moment, I found a Fiberreed Hemp {MS}in my gigbag. I had been there for years waiting for me to try it. Wow! What a surprise! Responsive and bright, this became my go-to reed. This more recent purchase was an 'M' strength, a bit stiffer but I can now really belt out the volume but also go 'pp' when needed. I don't know how long it will last but I have a HH Carbon now ready for emergencies. No more fiddling with temperamental wooden reeds for me - I want it instantly ready and reliable.

Mundstück 1: Otto Link NY Super Tone Master 6*
Mundstück 2: Yanagisawa Ebonite 6

bevorzugte Naturblätter:
Vandoren ZZ Stärke 2,5
Vandoren Java Filed Red Stärke 2,5

Kunststoffblätter:
Harry Hartmann Fiberreed HEMP Tenor Sax M
Forestone Unfiled Tenor Sax M, F4
(Forestone Black Bamboo Tenor Sax MS)

Ich: mittelprächtige Freizeit-Tenörin (mit gelegentlichen Ausflügen zum Bariton)

Meine "Instrumentierung" beschreibe ich nicht aus Eitelkeit so ausführlich. Solch eine Schilderung wäre für mich sehr hilfreich gewesen bei meiner Suche nach einem Kunststoffblatt. Das Black Bamboo habe ich mir mindestens eine Stärke zu weich gekauft und benutze es gar nicht.

Nach einer Beratung durch die Thomannsche Saxophonabteilung (Danke!) habe ich mich für das o.g. Hemp und das Unfiled entschieden. Beide haben für mich die richtige Stärke, alle Töne sind anwesend - die tiefen zieren sich mitunter ein wenig. Liegt aber wohl eher an meiner Tagesform als am Equipment. Dass sich Kunststoffblätter sehr glatt und so gar nicht nach "Holz" anfühlen, ist für mich kein Nachteil. Auch dass man sie nicht vorm Spielen "ansabbeln" muss finde ich gut. Über die Haltbarkeit kann ich noch nichts sagen.

Das Hemp klingt in meinen Ohren voller, saxiger. Das Unfiled hat einen klaren, mehr trockenen Ton. Mit beiden bin ich zufrieden, beide spiele ich auf beiden Mundstücken. Das Hemp würde ich mir eher nochmal kaufen, ich persönlich finde den Klang schöner.

Und nein, ich sehe kein puristisches Entweder-Oder zwischen Bambus und Kunststoff; ich werde nach Lust, Laune und Raumklima wechseln.

J'aime vraiment cette anche, elle apporte un son vraiment brillant comme je le voulais.
Elle est très polyvalente et facile d'émission (M=2.5 Vandoren V16).

Je ne trouve aucun point négatif sur cette anche.
