Cane Gonzalez Reeds

Since beginning their journey in 1982, Gonzalez has earned themselves plenty of attention and acclaim amongst clarinetists and saxophonists for their high-grade, beautifully-crafted cane reeds. Today, Gonzalez is a leading cane reed manufacturer and their line includes a wide range of strengths and cuts. Whether you're an aspiring clarinetist, soprano sax virtuoso or a student alto saxophonist, this selection of Gonzalez cane reeds has just what you need to make your performance even greater.

As every experienced woodwind musician knows, cane reeds come in strengths ranging from soft to hard (typically numbered 1 to 5). While it's sometimes recommended that beginners start with softer reeds due to their easier playability, it really comes down to the individual player - in fact, many famous musicians use soft reeds. Generally, softer reeds are said to be best for playing in the lower register while harder reeds are better for higher registers. But again, reed strength varies from person to person because everyone plays differently and everyone has their own personal music tastes.

Now, with all that being said, you still need to choose cane reeds that are crafted specifically for your chosen instrument - and rest assured, Gonzalez cane reeds have more than enough clarinet and saxophone reeds to decide from. Bb clarinetists have the pleasure of browsing many popular sellers. For example, the F.O.F. Bb Clarinet Reeds are made from organically grown Argentinean cane that is CNC controlled and hand worked. They have a Moree-style cut (thick blank, high shoulder, long heart) and the result is a full and focused tone that will please even the most seasoned clarinetists.

Another popular choice are the Gonzalez Tenor Saxophone Reeds. The response, consistency and sound of these filed-cut reeds is the result of A-grade cane with very strict quality control. Available in various strengths, you'll be sure to notice a definite improvement in your sax tone when you're performing with a reed from this pack. For that matter, the same can be said for the Alto Saxophone Reeds: boasting a rich and mellow concert sound, these reeds are ideal for classical music applications.

Box after box, these Gonzalez cane reeds come to you from an expert team of music lovers who are passionately committed to the environment and take pride in every reed that leaves their factory. Give one of these packs of Gonzalez cane reeds a try and see for yourself why they are a brand that's synonymous with musical excellence around the world.
