Re: Best reed for Rock?
I use various set-ups for rock, depending on the type of sound that I want. Are we talking tenor or alto here? Really, the type of reed depends heavily on the mouthpiece. For tenor, I would strongly suggest a metal mouthpiece with a fairly open facing. For alto, I would suggest either a Meyer 5M or an Otto Link Tone Edge 5* or 6*, or possibly even an Otto Link New York metal for an edgy sound. Sometimes metal pieces are a bit too shrill on alto, so choose your metal piece with caution! The NY Otto Links are not too bad though.
As for reeds, I would suggest either a Rico Royal or Jazz Select 2.5 or 3, pref. unfiled.
