IDEAL FOR CLASSICAL / CHAMBER / EXPERIMENTAL

Reserve reeds are filed and feature a thicker spine and blank, allowing for ease of register changes. The Reserve reed is ideally suited for solo and chamber performances. Reserve reeds are made from lower-internode cane, which comes from the first four tubes of the cane stalk, yielding greater consistency from reed to reed. 

- High-density cane produces more durable, consistent reeds

- Color video inspection sorts cane quality

- Optical laser measurements ensure accuracy

- Precision natural-diamond cutting blades maintain reed consistency

Staff Review

As someone who's exclusively used Vandoren reeds on my classical setups for many years, I have to say I am VERY impressed with these reeds! They are very responsive, and have a vibrant tone quality without being bright or edgy. Strength-wise they blow about the same as Vandoren Traditionals, but adding the "3.0+" strength between 3 and 3.5 is an excellent touch to give you more options when finetuning your setup. Sometimes it can feel like reed options for classical players are a bit limited. So if you've been habitually using the same reeds for a while like I had, mix things up a bit an give these a try. I promise you wont regret it! - Oren Gurney (oren@sax.co.uk)
