sax-shoppin'

now my pay cheque has cleared, I've just ordered the harder reeds - the 2.5 ones. Thought I'd try a few types and see what they're like. Here's my trolley...
will let you know how its contents fare with me, and how I fare with its contents.
(do you think the last thing might be cheating? was cheap, and I thought I might as well try it...)

that stick to the mouthpiece on either side of the reed to give a
balanced and flexible sound and a freer response, and make staccato
notes easier
