A traditional blank clarinet reed that offers a focused sound, a shorter vamp for even response, rounded tip corners for tonal warmth, and a standard tip thickness for quick response. Reserve reeds are crafted using naturally-grown cane from d'addario's own foreign fields. D'addario has pioneered the first practical and precise system to digitally measure and cut the incredibly complex geometrical patterns necessary to re-invented single reeds. Reserve reeds are cut to the tightest tolerances, offering the most consistent performance.
