## Questions & Answers

**Q: What color are coated?**
A: It's a brownish color.  I've been playing them for years.  They play like a regular wood reed but because of the coating they last a lot longer.

**Q: Do you need to wet the reed before playing or not?**
A: I wet the reed slightly in order to get a suction seal between the reed and mouthpiece, if not the reed will not create a good seal for me.  These reeds seem to give me a slightly brighter and buzzier sound than most traditional cane reeds, and they definately last longer than cane, I really like them.

**Q: I'm debating between 2.0 and 2.5 strength for my alto sax.. How does strength compare to the wood reeds?**
A: i'm using the 2.5 right now, is almos identical, i don't really feel a great difference in resistance, i you want to continue growing i recommend you to use the 2.5, the 2 o 3 first days you will feel some differences, but by the 4th day the reed work pretty normal.

**Q: Description says it's a coated reed. Is there any wood that's part of the reed, or is it entirely plastic?**
A: It is a coated reed, but not the whole thing.  The reed in the middle is different than the reed outside that you see when you open the box.  Look up a couple pics on google images, and you'll see that there is a wood part at the bottom half of the reed that's not filed.  This is the only exposed wooden part of the reed, and it gives it more versatility.
