The new Gonzalez Local 627 Jazz Reeds are more flexible and vibrant than the Gonzalez Alto Regular Cut. The reeds are finished with a larger area of scraping. which gives a brilliant sound and quick response.
Ideal alternative for people currently using Jazz Select unfiled or Vandoren V16, ZZ or even Java green box. A better price, more consistent and a comparable reed. Works best on American style facing curves like Link, Meyer, Wanne, Navarro, Aizen etc.
Strength is fairly hard so equivalent to Vandoren blue box classics. If you're using a ZZ 2.5 then a Gonzalez 2.5 should be ok depending on mouthpiece facing etc. They are a little harder feeling than Vandoren Java so maybe come down a half strength in that scenario.Ie Java 3 equals Gonzalez Jazz 2.5
- Supplied in pack of 10 reeds.
- Carefully aged and dried cane for optimum consistency.
- Vibrant and flexible response.
- Ideal for Jazz, Rock, Pop, Funk etc.
- Available in strength 1.5 to 4

I have used the Gonzalez clarinet reeds for some time now but for some reason or other not the alto sax ones. Having tried them now they will be my first choice reed from now on.

These are hard reeds and I think that the general rating is inaccurate. I have recently been playing some of 2.25 hardness and they have taken a while to be playable. I found one which seemed a little softer than the others that I have tried & it had a very good sound. They were harder than my 2.5 V16's and also my Marca Jazz 3's. 2's next time!
