It depends on how advanced you are as a player. A beginner should start with a size 2, Alto Sax reed, this is the softest type of reed. After about a year, or however long it takes you to get used to your sax, you can upgrade to a size 2 1/2, and so on so forth, a size 5 reed, is the highest you can go, but is only recommended to people who have tenure playing the sax, and have become an advanced, or extremely experienced player.
