These Reeds Just INSTANTLY Converted Me | Mystery Care Package Unboxing

Wow, everyone was right. These reeds are the real deal. I watched a few of Boston Sax's livestreams on Instagram, and the owner Jack Finucane is extremely competent in what he does. He makes everything with a clear purpose in mind, and I strongly believe this company is going to become one of the leading companies in the world. Many people have converted, such as Joel Frahm, Braxton Cook, Immanuel Wilkins, and Joel Lovano just to name a few. I encourage you to click one of the links below and explore the whole website - there are some really cool things in there. They are even selling freshly overhauled Mark VI saxophones. :0 I need one

Based on your playing, I think Chad LB was definitely right to invite you to teach a masterclass two weeks ago. You are truly a great player and who I believe to be a sequel to Charlie Parker.

They instantly converted me as soon as I tried one too. The consistency is serious. I can immediately tell when I'm playing on a non-Boston reed now.

[@bcmsax]

Great review/video! Honesty is a rarity in these types of videos on other channels. It’s appreciated! I’ve been on the alto Vandoren Zz Reeds 2.5 for years but this video has swayed me to order some BSS reeds. ✌️

The dislike is from the reed company he got his reeds from before

These reed videos are fascinating to me because it goes over problems I have never had as a brass player.

[@mattfichter3044]

I absolutely love this collab!! Such an amazing sound, Nathan! Question: when youre playing on 2.5s, are you playing with a looser embouchure to allow more vibration? I find that softer reeds pinch off for me, but you seem to be able to get a great sound on both.

[@Saxyfoxboi]

YESSIR!!! Welcome to the BSS gang!

[@chrisf4216]

7:11 the solo is Adderley on Autumn leaves with Miles Davis, really well executed bro!

[@bobcieslinski]

Used java for years and then I switched to Boston Sax Shop Reeds. I’ll never go back. Jack is an awesome owner too.

[@TrueBlueYou]

You just get better and better!!- I used to use Vandoren green Javas (which I heard were designed for David Sanborn) and they only lasted for one gig, then, I started using the V16 which lasted a while longer. D’Addario has me hooked on Jazz Select for studio and Reserve for live stuff. They can take a ton of air night after night and have good, solid hearts.

[@chapterrv]

I'm currently using green Javas. V16s were great on a previous mp I owned. Like you, I really them lasting longer than other reeds. The ones I have now are too hard for my current mps. But you got me interested in trying the Jazz Select and Reserve reeds. How do they compare?

[@chapterrv]

*how do they compare against each other
