These reeds are recognizable by a straight line to delineate the limit of the area of bark.<div><p>The favorite reed of classic saxophonists worldwide since Marcel MULE, it has always been (and is still) used with equal success by many players.</p><p>Two legendary examples:</p><div><p><span>Lee Konitz:</span></p><p>I'm using [..] a Vandoren two reed<strong>*</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>[..] I had been using a plastic medium reed for the past 5 or 6 years but just recently switched to the cane. Right now, I'm using a soft setup which gives me the flexibility I can't get in a harder setup.<br>- Saxophone Journal, Spring 1985<br><strong>*</strong>For alto; for the soprano sax, Lee Konitz uses a Vandoren #3 reed (both with V5 mouthpieces).</p><p><span>Stan Getz:</span></p>I don't like a reed sound. I have to work hard to get my sound because I use a harder reed (med-hard Vandoren)<strong>*</strong>. People think I play effortlessly.<br>- Saxophone Journal, Winter 1986</div><div><strong>*</strong>#4</div></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><br></div></div><div><br></div>
