Synthetic Forestone Reeds

If there's one thing every woodwind player knows (except maybe flautists, anyway), it's that taking care of reeds can be a real chore! Sorting, testing, moisturizing, replacing... wouldn't it be nice to have a reed that doesn't require so much work? People have obviously been asking that question since the 1950s, because that's when the first synthetic reeds hit the market. Crafted from man-made materials, these reeds last a long time, don't need to be moisturized, and you'll never have to worry about getting a dud - best of all, they've come a long way in the past half-century, allowing the synthetic Forestone reeds in this section to deliver performance that competes with any cane reed you could name.

Some of the best candidates for synthetic reeds are beginners, so if you're new to woodwinds, they certainly deserve your consideration. For instance, the extended lifespan of a reed such as the Forestone Synthetic Tenor Saxophone Reed means it can stand up to night after night of practice and recital. And since these are low-maintenance reeds, you'll have the freedom to spend less time taking care of your reed and more time developing your musical talents. On top of all that, you can skip the process of selecting a reed: synthetics are so reliable and consistent that they don't need to come in a box for you to sift through. Choosing something like the Forestone Synthetic Clarinet Reed gets you a single reed that you can count on to perform well from the start.

In a nutshell, synthetic Forestone reeds (and synthetics in general) are fantastic options for musicians who want the most convenient playing experience available. Not only are they easy to care for and consistent in any humidity without the need to moisturize; they're also high-performance reeds that can hold their own against cane with no problems. Whether you're a beginner or a pro with a busy schedule, there are plenty of reasons to consider one of these synthetic reeds for your instrument.
