My Project

Clarinetists and saxophonists go through many reeds. During marching season that number doubles so you can see how much reed cane is being cut down to make reeds for us to perform. We would like to do our part and help reduce waste and not use as much cane.

My clarinetists and saxophonists need synthetic reeds for their upcoming marching band season.

These reeds hold up to the numerous hours that we rehearse and don't become water-logged like the traditional cane reeds. In addition, being synthetic, these reeds do not break as easily. Plus they sound great and the sounds project easily to the crowd.
