I think there may be a couple other threads on this subject somewhere, but I'm too lazy to check. :p

I use normal Vandoren reeds with a Selmer S80 mouthpiece for nonjazz; Hemke reeds with a metal Selmer C** for jazz.

Rico Jazz Select 3, French filed, or
VanDoren ZZ 3 on Otto Link 8* Rubber

And no. I can't say I can tell a difference between filed and unfiled. The quality of the cane seems to be more critical.

Ive been using Alexander Superial 2.5, they were recommended and I've never looked back i love them!

Thomas

Alto

Vandoren regular 3.5's for classical, and Vandoren ZZ 2.5's for jazz.

Bari, Soprano

Don't play them much anymore, but when I do, I just use Legere studio cut reeds. I used one of those reeds for an entire year in band, and while it doesn't sound quite as good as cane, it saves you a pile of money!
