[QUOTE="lydian, post: 498301, member: 8392"] Yeah, back in the 70s, I had some reeds with the hole. I forgot the brand. Seems like a gimmick to me since that part is too far back to make any difference. I probably bought them because of the price at the time. As a kid, I really couldn't afford to spend very much. If synthetics sounded and felt closer to cane, I'd have switched a long time ago. But they're still not close enough for me. I'm not willing to compromise that much on my sound on my main instrument. I'll use them on bari and bass sax and occasionally clarinet. But on other saxes, they don't cut it. [/QUOTE]
