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.
