Are the reeds stiff? I've heard they are but these were Vandoren from about 10-15 years ago.

Any new reed is going to be stiff as is expected. The reeds do "loosen" as they are used to some extent. I recommend them to intermediate players. For a beginner then the strength should probably be a 2. Both strengths work well and help deliver a quality tone.

what size should I buy?? any advice im 18, for band

Ask your Band Teacher. They usually want every alto sax player using the same mouthpiece and same reed brand and strength . That being said, the 2.5 is an excellent reed. I played on a 2.0 strength for 1st year.

How much can shave the reed and still make a nice tone

Easy does it on shaving those reeds! Unless you have played for years don't monkey with shaving the reed. That is done carefully on certain spots on the reed. And try practice first to get the nice tone and make sure you are using the right number reed for yourself.

hello please if I order two or three boxes must I pay the 2.99 ship for each one or only one time? thank you and happy new year

High quality reeds

My son was recommended these particular reeds by his saxophone teacher and whilst they are not cheap, they seem very high quality and we've stuck with this brand.

Fantastic

These reeds are fantastic because they give a richer tone when I play! I recommend these to anyone. They are a progression so do require a higher level of technique :)
