ForestoneBlack Bamboo Clarinet Reed M
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Black Bamboo M is a black clarinet reed built from polypropylene resin and cellulose wood fiber, with bamboo comprising more than half of the fiber content. Injection molding is used to produce a smooth, consistent vamp, and the standard profile tapers to a 0.1 mm tip. Its composite material is resistant to water-logging, saliva-related breakdown, and warping caused by humidity or altitude changes. Blowing resistance is adjustable by moving the reed’s position on the mouthpiece table, and it can be clipped or worked with reed tools.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Clarinet players who want a black M-designated composite reed resistant to moisture-related breakdown.
- Setups where resistance adjustment at the mouthpiece table is useful during reed placement.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players unwilling to allow time to get accustomed to the feel compared with cane.
