Best Reed Ever
I have been using this kind of reed for almost 2 years straight now and have never had any issues with any that I have purchased. This reed allows for beautiful tone quality throughout. I have noticed they last much longer than others that I have tried before. The magic reed-no pun intended, is magic! I would recommend this to anyone, even beginners, as the reed comes in medium and hard. I will always be repurchasing this reed!
great sound !!
I’ve been playing for three years and finally taking the step up to “real” medium reeds. (I’ve been playing commercial mediums from Amazon until now.) Even though the Magic was immediately harder to play, still, the first thing I noticed was how warm and full the sound is. The response was a little difficult (didn’t speak very well), and required a lot of embouchure adjustment in the 3rd octave. I’ve done some minor adjustments, like scraping the tip and the windows, and after a couple of weeks, it speaks easily and still plays beautifully. I’m definitely going to be trying more of them.
Great reed
I've played on many of these reeds over the past year, and on the whole, they are very good reeds. Every once in a while I'll get a dud, something that's extremely nasal and thin....and that sucks, but I suppose this happens to the best of makers!
