ForestoneTraditional Baritone Saxophone Reed M

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Traditional M baritone saxophone reed uses a brown composite of polypropylene resin and cellulose wood fiber, with bamboo accounting for more than half of the wood fiber. Proprietary injection molding produces smooth, consistently formed vamps and a balanced profile that tapers to a 0.1 mm tip. It is designed for natural feel, resilience, and flexibility, with clear, strong sound, stable intonation, and articulation across the saxophone range. Resistance changes with its position on the mouthpiece table.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Baritone saxophonists who want to adjust blowing resistance through reed placement.
- Players seeking a reed material that resists water-logging and humidity-related warping.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I change its blowing resistance?
Yes. Lower placement on the mouthpiece table reduces resistance, while higher placement increases it.
02Can it be clipped?
Yes. It can be clipped and adjusted with blades, files, sandpaper, reed rush, or other tools.
03How long does it last?
Its life varies with how a player’s embouchure stresses it. It resists water-logging, saliva breakdown, and warping from humidity or altitude changes, but replace it when responsiveness declines.
