Bravo reeds were designed in California, USA and are made to the strictest non-toxic EU guidelines. They are supplied in a box of 5 and reportedly offer longer life span than standard cane reeds.
Upon testing we've found these reeds to be one of the most impressive synthetic options we've ever tried. With a flexibility and response that is commonly missing on synthetic reeds the Bravo offers a clean sound but still with some warmth and a wide dynamic range is possible.
In terms of strength we would say these are very similar to the Vandoren V12 strengths, or to put it another way 1/2 strength softer than Vandoren Classic blue box.

Most synthetic reeds don’t sound as good as cane reeds. These are the exception. I’ve tried a few other brands and these are the best. Reasonable price too.

After a box of 3.5 (because it was a bit weak) I bought a box of 4 reeds as well. Unfortunately, however this was good at first, after 1-2 hours of play it will soften and weaker than the 3.5. I told Bravo support what the cause of the error was, they did not answer anything.

Maybe the best synthetic reed. Good natural sound. As the company writes: half weaker than the Vandoren Classic.

Bravo alto sax reeds. Probably the best synthetic reed I have ever used.
