Detail 01
Soft strength
Least resistance in the range. Low B-flat speaks with little effort; hard blowing will close the tip.

Harry HartmannCarbon Fiberreed Baritone Saxophone Reed Soft
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
One soft-strength carbon Fiberreed for baritone sax. For bari players who want an easy-blowing reed that holds up to long sessions.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bari players who struggle to get the low register speaking
- Long rehearsals where a cane reed would soften and die
- Pit and outdoor work with unstable temperature and humidity
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Loud lead playing that needs a harder, more resistant reed
- Players who adjust and sand their reeds by hand
- Anyone wanting a multi-reed box at this price
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Carbon fiber interwoven with synthetic hollow fiber
Carbon gives stiffness and wear resistance, hollow fiber adds damping so it is not glassy.
Detail 03
Baritone cut
The largest common sax reed. Bari-only — it will not seat on tenor or alto tables.
Detail 04
Sold individually
One reed, no box. Budget separately if you want a spare in the case.
Detail 05
$43.12 per reed
Roughly a box of cane bari reeds. Worth it only if it outlives several of them.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01This is the reed only — mouthpiece, ligature and cap not included
- 02A bari ligature must open wide enough to clear the reed's thickness
- 03Soft may be too little resistance if you already play cane 3 or above
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is soft too soft for a bari?
It favours easy low-end response over volume. If you play loud lead bari, choose a harder strength.
02Does the carbon make it harsh?
The carbon is interwoven with hollow synthetic fiber rather than used alone, which is there to keep the response from getting brittle.
03How many reeds come in the package?
One. It is sold individually, not as a box.
04Can I sand or clip it like cane?
It is not a cane blank, so normal reed-adjusting tools do not work the same way. Pick the strength you want instead.
