And how many reeds never work properly?

Other problems covered in the same easy-to-follow style are:

1. The tone is stuffy or unclear throughout all registers.

2. I can't get a clear tone - the reed seems to hiss throughout the range and I have difficulty getting the notes above top C.

3. The reed is far too hard and it is extremely difficult to produce any sound at all.

4. The bottom notes are unresponsive and difficult to play quietly.  (Click on the illustration above.)

5. Notes around middle E are hard to produce, are unclear and feel generally "stuffy".

6. Tonguing and staccato are poor or difficult.  The tone in the middle register is generally a little fuzzy.

7. Notes in the top octave are fuzzy or unresponsive.

8. The reed squeaks without warning.

9. The reed was fine, but is now too soft, with the tip extremely thin or even damaged.

10. The tone is raspy and lacks richness.

11. The saxophone sounds flat on all notes despite tuning adjustments.

In any box of ten sax reeds only one or two will play with little trouble.  Cane being a natural substance will vary, whilst the machine's cut will not.  If you know what to do, you can make all your reeds work just as well.

Don't throw reeds away too soon.  With a little "carpentry" or clipping, you can give your reed a new lease of life. When a reed plays up in rehearsal or concert, your Reed Doctor could get you out of trouble.

Not only does your Saxophonists Reed Doctor answer your problems, it tells you how to scrape and shape reeds for optimum performance. 

Scrape a reed today and play like you never thought you could.
