Which Daddario reeds should I buy for alto sax, tenor sax or Bb clarinet?

Choose Daddario reeds made for your instrument and in a strength that suits your setup. The options here include Organic Select Jazz reeds for alto and tenor sax, and Royal Mitchell Lurie Organic reeds for Bb clarinet.

For alto sax, the Organic Select Jazz Filed Alto Sax Reeds are listed in strength 4M, in a pack of 10, with a best new price of £25. For tenor sax, the Organic Select Jazz Unfiled Tenor Sax Reeds are strength 4H, in a pack of five, at £22.

For Bb clarinet, the Royal Mitchell Lurie Organic reeds are listed in strength 1.5, in a pack of 10, with a best new price of £20. These are a different instrument fit, not an alternative to the sax reeds.

Check your current reed strength and your mouthpiece requirements before buying. The listed sax options differ in both cut and strength designation, so this selection alone cannot establish which will feel or sound best for you.
