Frederick L. Hemke reeds are more consistent, and are generally a little higher in quality than standard reeds. These are the reeds we recommend for advanced players in most situations. As with all of our reeds, all boxed reeds are at least 10% off list price, and can not be returned.
 
Reeds are typically available in strengths of 1 through 5 (some brands label their reeds as Soft, Medium Soft, ... through Hard). In general, the lower the number, the easier it is to play most notes. The down side, is that the lower number reeds just don't sound as nice, and make it harder to hit high notes.
 
As a general rule, we recommend reeds with a strength of 2 (Soft) for people just getting started, and strength 2 1/2 (Medium Soft) for people who have played for a year (less time if they take lessons). The harder reeds should only be used after using the next softer size of reed for six months to a year, or at the recommendation of a private instructor or band director.

Rubank Advanced Method Volume One - Saxophone Sheet Music
71 pages, Item number 1080005DP, $7.95

The Rubank method books have been in wide use in the US for decades. The books are suitable for use as individual methods, or as like-instrument classroom methods. The Rubank methods are available in the following difficulties: Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced Vol. I, and Advanced Vol. II. The series makes good use of scales and etudes, as well as lots of short songs and small ensemble pieces. Woodwind instruments include a fingering chart with each book, and the brass books contain plenty of lip slurs. Many of the world's greatest musicians grew up using this series, and we highly recommend it.
