I know this is a stupid question...one man's meat is another man's poison etc. etc. However- I've been using Vandoren Java 2.5s on my tenor for ages, and I'm getting fed up with them. I'm not good at modifying reeds, so if they don't play well 'out of the box' then I'll probably persevere for a while and then throw them away. The Javas' failure rate seems to me to be getting worse. Also, I'm fed up with the sound. They tend to generally sound a bit 'stuffy'.
I have a middle of the range Jupiter tenor with an Otto Link Super Tone Master NY 7* mouthpiece.
As I said, I know its all very subjective, but perhaps some of you more experienced players could give me suggestions as to reeds I could try.
Thanks.
