Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Black Bamboo MH is a composite tenor saxophone reed with polypropylene resin and cellulose wood fiber; bamboo contributes more than half of the fiber content. Its smooth vamp is injection-molded for consistent shaping, and the standard profile comes down to a 0.1 mm tip. The material avoids water-logging and will not warp when humidity or altitude changes. Plan for a short break-in period, then use mouthpiece-table placement to make small resistance adjustments.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Tenor saxophone players who want to adjust blowing resistance through reed placement on the mouthpiece table.
- Players seeking a reed material that resists water-logging and humidity- or altitude-related warping.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How can I change the resistance?
Move the reed slightly on the mouthpiece table: lower placement reduces resistance, while higher placement increases it.
02Can it be adjusted or clipped?
Yes. The material can be worked with blades, files, sandpaper, reed rush, or other tools, and it can be clipped.
03Will it last indefinitely?
No. It resists water-logging and warping, but eventually becomes less lively and responsive and needs replacing.
