Gonzales reeds are characterised by the best wood quality and an unmistakable sound. The use of pesticides is deliberately and naturally avoided in the cultivation of Gonzales cane.Due to the ideal climatic conditions in Argentina, the reeds offer excellent vibration behaviour and therefore an outstanding overall quality. The cane harvested in winter is laid out to dry in the sun for a month. Turning the raw material several times gives it its golden yellow colour.The dried raw material is categorised into different quality classes by specially trained experts before the production process continues.Using 3D measuring equipment, the sheet thickness can be precisely determined and thus allocated to the different sheet thicknesses. The additional involvement of professional musicians in the production process ensures consistently high quality and continuous development.

The Signature series for saxophone responds very easily. They are slightly thinner and stiffer than a conventional reed. They produce a natural, centred sound with rich overtones. This reed has a clear yet warm sound with a lot of core and is therefore used by jazz and classical musicians worldwide.
Bb - Clarinet German systemLégère clarinet reeds are an approximate counterpart to the Vandoren White Master reedsAdvantages:They are ultimately less expensive to use than wooden reeds as they last longer.They are ready to use and therefore particularly suitable for multi-instrumentalists ("doublers") and teacher performances.They are reliable.They are consistent from sheet to sheet. When one is used up, the next reed purchased will be almost 100% identical.They reduce adjustment, moistening and repositioning (which is normally unavoidable before playing), resulting in more time to playto play.
We have two versions (cuts) for our alto and tenor saxophone reeds. Our original cuts are designed for a darker sound and are generally used for classical playing. Our new studio cut reed is free blowing, wide and flexible.Légère alto sax reeds play approximately 1/2 strength harder than the standard alto sax reeds (blue box).Légère 3=Vandoren 3 1/2.

A larger spur and a more flexible reed tip than the traditional reed enable vibrations on a larger surface with maximum flexibility. This kind of "backbone" gives the musician more flexibility when playing, as the resulting elasticity range is very wide.JA stands for Jazz, VA for Varieté (light music) and of course for Vandoren. (Sprue=zone in which the waves with the largest wavelength range propagate. From the tip, the waves are further absorbed in the JAVA sheet)
The cut of the RICO Select Jazz reeds has a firm, precisely defined heart and a longer throat. The result is an unparalleled, clear and fat sound combined with unrivalled flexibility and lightning-fast response. Rico Select Jazz reeds are available with a French cut ("filed") or "unfiled".
Extensive tests with jazz saxophonists have shown that the new ZZ Sax reeds respond immediately and very directly without losing brightness and tone quality. An absolute prerequisite for a highly professional jazz reed.In addition to the fast response, the open and free playing feel is inspiring. The unique connection between the heart of the reed and the tip results in an exceptional tone colour, excellent response and long life.
RICO's "Orange Box" is made from the most flexible part of the reed to allow for a wide variety of playing styles. The easy response, affordable price and practical packaging sizes make RICO the first choice of many musicians worldwide.
The nature of this reed allows for an extremely pure sound An extremely fine tip (the part of the reed that vibrates the most) is in balance with a very solid shaft (a lot of reed in the part that slowly rises towards the end of the reed).

D'Addario Royal reeds have the traditional French cut to improve the response especially in the lower registers and to give the tone more lustre. The cut also makes it easier to blow very quiet notes. D'Addario Royal reeds are available in a practical blister pack with 3 reeds for all clarinets and saxophones.
First-class reeds form the basis for these reeds, which offer even response and playability. Professional saxophonists and clarinettists play La Voz. The reeds get their deep and powerful tone from the "unfiled" cut. They are therefore favoured by many of the world's best jazz musicians. They are available in a box of 10 reeds for clarinet and saxophone.

The most widely used sheets among professionals. The superiority of the traditional reeds in the blue packaging has been proven time and again over the years.The main acoustic characteristics:Excellent response in all registers up to pianissimo in the highest registers. Flexibility that allows legato or staccato even in very long passages. Great fullness of tone with plenty of substance and brilliance.
