I don't know the dimensions of your Otto NY 7, but off the bat I'll assume it's bigger than the Rosseau DXPJ 6.My guess is that a 3M is probably too hard for the Otto. Your problem has nothing to do with the bright or dark issue. It's all about tip opening and reed strength balance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265753174903128732.post-77021349057252896042013-12-21T06:37:03.917-05:002013-12-21T06:37:03.917-05:00You can find a quite accurate comparison chart for...You can find a quite accurate comparison chart for reeds on the Vandoren web site.<br /><br />http://www.vandoren-fr.com/downloads/Tableaux-de-comparaison_t16774.htmlJeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10818353283509260511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265753174903128732.post-60517102821427504012013-09-29T16:14:22.931-04:002013-09-29T16:14:22.931-04:00Thanks for nice description.

My instructor is hinting at switching to either to Rico Select Jazz (Unfiled) or a harder V16. I'm pretty much wanting to try the RSJ's, but kinda confused with the RSJ strength scale. I know that Rico's run a little softer in the Orange Box vs Blue Box matchup,... same thing when it comes to V16 vs RSJ? If so, about a half strength jump like with orange vs blue? I got a box of Rico Reserves #3 just sitting in a draw,... way to stiff. Looking for RSJ to equal about a V16 2.5. Do I do RSJ 2 Medium, 2 Hard, or 3 Soft?

Had to start my setup search all over again after finally buying a tenor. I like the playability of these reeds; they are consistent and easy to break in. They have added a nice little edge to my sound with of course some practicing on my part. On tenor though, I sometimes feel like they are lacking the depth of tone that I would get out of the JAVAs. It could just be me being overly self-critical, because when I go back and listen to some of the recordings I have been on, the sound and tone is EXACTLY where I want it to be! I now play the filed on both alto and tenor, and on all my mouthpieces.<br /><br />Alto: Lakey 5*3 w/ Jazz Select 3S Filed<br />Tenor: Link STM 7* w/ Jazz Select 2H Filed<br /> Guardala MBII w/ jazz Select 2H FiledAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265753174903128732.post-30495684000473428612011-04-06T13:19:24.222-04:002011-04-06T13:19:24.222-04:00My Selmer Mark VI (#84xxx) tenor plays nicely with...My Selmer Mark VI (#84xxx) tenor plays nicely with my Selmer silver-plated C* metal jazz mouthpiece. It seems to blow easiest when I use Rico Jazz Select filed 2S or 2M reeds. I like to play low, dark, soft, and as smooth a sound as possible (I wish I was Houston Person). Once well-soaked, these reeds give me that low Bb without having to tongue-start it (I call that "popping" the note).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265753174903128732.post-24611888542072425192011-01-07T04:32:52.230-05:002011-01-07T04:32:52.230-05:00Funny enough...I used a Rico Royal on my Metal lin...Funny enough...I used a Rico Royal on my Metal link and it was fab but the same reed sounded crap on my Rubber Link?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265753174903128732.post-53287543130553920722010-07-15T05:40:34.683-04:002010-07-15T05:40:34.683-04:00It may be your DXPJ6 is not the tip opening marked...It may be your DXPJ6 is not the tip opening marked.
