I just started playing the alto sax for jazz band and I was wondering wut size read i should start with (i have never used a reed before cuz i play the flute) thankx :D

First of all, welcome to the world of saxophones!! But more importantly, great choice choosing the alto (you can refer back to the "Battle of the Saxes" post if you have no idea what I'm talking about)!!

I'd start with a size 1 reed then increase by 1/2 sizes when needed. Try starting with Rico reeds; they're great when starting to play the sax.

Hope this helps!!

oh very nice *rolls eyes at last post*
alto is alright its still a sax so good job.
if i were you, which i;m not, i'd start on 2 1/2.

You're just jealous of the alto's awesomeness!!!
