Very high quality reed, suitable for just about any style. Personally I use them for classic tenor on a selmer soloist mouthpiece, to which this reed and strength is well suited, although I would say that this is a very versatile reed that can be used for anything in a pinch. Would have to say that there is some inconsistency of the reeds within a box, with some being much better than others, but no more so than I have experienced you would find with any other reed maker.
