Alexander Superial DC Tenor Saxophone Reeds
[DC]

Since its introduction in 1995, "DC" seems to be especially favored by professionals who need a lot of power and want to push the reed to the limits of its dynamic capabilities, while still retaining an even balance from top to bottom.

This reed has a slightly harder tip and more wood in the heart and sides than Alexander Superial and therefore produces a more solid tonal core, enhanced projection and power, and a little darker harmonic timbre than Superial, but still one with the kind of "edge" and authority needed in soloing or lead work.

Alexander also had in mind a reed of increased power that would be particularly suitable for big band, stage band or marching reed players, as well. So in a sense, he worked on "DC" with an idea of making a reed that fit closest to the tonal palate of my own musical influences and this became the reed he used on Tenor most of the time.

Comes in a Metal Box, 10 reeds.
