Marca Premium Alto Sax 2,5

Im still trying different reeds to find the best one for my Gaia metal alto sax mp. I heard a guy on YT that plays on Theo Wanne, sounded good, in the description said he plays on these reeds. Why not, I thought, it cant be bad, after all those are PREMIUM reeds.
Opened the box, 1 reed damaged, 1 not filed correctly (a chunk of wood left on the right side of the reed). Most reeds warped due to paper reed guard in which they are placed…even ReedGeek cant make it work…they squeek like crazy. 2 reeds sounded ok. 29 Euros for a box of mostly not usable reeds? Never ever experienced something like this. Hope I am not being too harsh…oh wait forgot one thing…Marca give me back my moneeey!

p.s. For Gaia mouthpiece best reed for me at the moment is Legere Classic strength 2 but I need to soften it a bit, so 1.75 would be ideal, mouthpiece shines with it, so far I tried Legere American cut, Signature, Daddario, V12, V16, V21, ZZ…havent tried Java green and red yet.
