it is really a matter of opinion, the situation, and your level of experiance. for example, I am a high school student that has been playing for six years. my favorite brand is vandoren. Rico are very good reed for beginners. the strength is situational. you want to use a heavier reed, prabably a 3 for marching band and jazz. for concert band, use a lighter reed like a 2 1/2. the lighter you go, the harder it is to produce a nice sound, but the easier it is to play. so as you become more experienced start experimenting with different reed strengths to see which you prefer. For marching, many prefer plastic reeds, for you do not have to keep them wet, and they do not freeze, but it it very hard to produce a quality sound on these, and they take a slight altering of play-style.

∙ 13y agoA Soprano Saxophone should use a soprano Saxophone reed. A Clarinet reed might or might not work for you, but it's not really the best option. If you mean the number (strength) that will depend on your experience, mouthpiece, and the brand of reed but you might want to start with a 2.
