Cane Alexander Reeds Reeds

Like the strings on a guitar or the head on a drum, the reed on your woodwind instrument is the biggest driver of tone. The sound created by the reed is what the rest of the instrument has to work with, and it takes a great foundation to get the best end result. So it's safe to say that choosing your reeds shouldn't be taken lightly, but that doesn't mean it needs to be scary, either. The selection of Alexander Reeds cane reeds is a good place to look for that perfect reed, whether you decide to try something from the flagship Superial series or experiment with their DC and New York lines. Any reeds you find here could be the right ones for your style; it's just a matter of figuring out which ones those might be.

For the "gold standard" cane reeds from Alexander Reeds, start with a look at the Superial reeds for alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, soprano saxophone, baritone saxophone and Bb clarinet. These come in a variety of strengths, with special blade contours and tips that are on the soft side compared to other reeds, designed to enhance response and tonal balance in all registers. Or maybe you're interested in checking out some of the newer reed designs here? Those would be the NY series, such as the Alexander Reeds New York Tenor Saxophone Reeds. Their redesigned tips and profiles give these a bigger and bolder sound than the average reed, and they're made from high-grade Southern France cane for consistency.

If you've never tried out Alexander Reeds cane reeds on your instrument before, there's no time like the present to change that. Their playing characteristics have made these some of the most sought-after reeds for jazz musicians everywhere - not to mention woodwind players from other genres as well. That certainly explains why so many of these reeds are sporting best-seller status and 5-star reviews, and if you'd like to find out firsthand why they're getting so much attention, you're in the right place to get started.
