Made on D'Addario's state of the art reed cutting equipent, these reeds offer exceptional consistency from reed to reed. Available in half strengths from 2.5 to 5, as well as a 3.5+ strength, to make finding the perfect strength even easier.
When ordering these reeds, please specify in the comments section of your order which strength you would like. Our Moorabbin store generally has good stock of most strengths, contact us before ordering or visiting to confirm availability if you need reeds in a hurry.
Getting the Most Out of Your Reeds
- Be sure to thoroughly break-in and rotate your reeds. Do not play each reed for more than a few minutes in the first days of use.
- The acidity content in one’s saliva may negatively affect the life of a reed. Consider using water to soak your reeds instead.
- Dark spots in the bark of the reed do not indicate that a reed will play poorly.
- Always use a mouthpiece cap when the reed is still on the mouthpiece, but not in use. This prevents reed damage and keeps the reed from drying out. Do not store your reed on the mouthpiece.
- The entire length of the reed vibrates; too much ligature pressure can stifle the vibration, so be careful when tightening the screw(s).
- Storing your reeds properly is important for maintaining stable, well-functioning reeds.
