D'Addario Woodwinds VAS0120G2 VENN Alto Saxophone Reed G2 2.0 anche pour saxophone alto

I really wanted to use that reed after hearings lots of good things about it. However, even after a few hours of playing with I found it pretty stiff and unresponsive compared to the Legere American Cut 2.5 that I generally use. Weirdly enough even the feel of the reed feels more plastic-y to me than the Legere.

(my first experience ordering at bax-music was otherwise perfect :-))
