ForestoneBlack Bamboo Tenor Saxophone Reed With Double Blast M
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Forestone Black Bamboo Double Blast M is a tenor saxophone reed made from polypropylene resin and cellulose wood fiber, with bamboo making up more than half of that fiber content. Injection molding produces a smooth, uniform vamp and a balanced profile, tapering to a 0.1mm tip. It is designed to keep its strength and resistance over time while avoiding water-logging and humidity- or altitude-related warping. Resistance can be changed by moving the reed on the mouthpiece table.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Tenor sax players seeking a synthetic reed that resists water-logging and humidity-related warping.
- Players who want to fine-tune blowing resistance through reed placement on the mouthpiece table.
