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.

I am a novice player in the sax but already I love these reeds. Probably sound a little brighter than cane reeds, but I have found from my clarinet Bravo reeds, that they are consistent throughout the box and exceedingly long lasting. Have tried the Plasticover reeds too and much prefer these. Will definitely but again.

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.
