• Forestone Saxophone Clarinet Reeds arrives!

  

  2020/07/07

  Hybrid reed models from domestic manufacturer, Forestone, have arrived. The reeds are produced from approximately 50% domestically produced bamboo fiber blended with polypropylene to provide the material stability as well as a tone and elasticity close to that of natural reeds.

  The features of each model are as follows.
  
  【 Traditional 】
  A filed (French) cut with straight, thin steps is used under the U-shaped part. Of the 4 models, the tip has the highest strength and is recommended for users who are getting a resin reed for the first time.
  
  【 Black Bamboo 】
  A resilient reed that contains carbon in addition to bamboo fiber with a filed (French) cut. Soft sound suitable for classical music and brass band.
  
  【 Hinoki 】
  A bright sound that contains many overtones. Uses an unfiled (American) cut. A very popular model for JAZZ players.
  
  【 White Bamboo 】
  A model that pursues a tone close to that of a cane reed. A combination of materials similar to the Cypress series, with a filed (French) cut. Good response can be obtained and they are recommended for any genre.
