Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Cherrywood reed case for alto sax, holding 6 reeds on a plexi-glass bed. For players running a reed rotation instead of one reed at a time.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Alto players breaking in a batch of reeds
- Keeping working reeds flat between rehearsals
- Storing reeds in a horn case pocket
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Clarinet players — this bed is cut wider
- Tenor or bari players needing longer slots
- Players wanting more than 6 reeds on hand
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
Plexi-glass reed bed
Hard flat backing for the reed table so reeds dry straight rather than warping at the tip.
Detail 03
Holds 6 reeds
Enough for a working rotation, but you will refill more often than with a 10-slot case.
Detail 04
Cherrywood shell
Rigid box that resists crushing in a gig bag. It scuffs rather than flexes.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Reeds are not included
- 02Dry reeds before closing the case — trapped moisture grows mold
- 036 slots only; check that against how many reeds you rotate
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will clarinet reeds work in this?
Not properly. Alto slots are wider, so clarinet reeds will shift instead of seating flat. Use the clarinet version for those.
02Will tenor sax reeds fit?
No. Tenor reeds are longer and wider than alto. This bed is cut for alto.
03How many reeds does it hold?
Six. J. Winter also makes cases in a 10-reed size.
04Is the wood or the leather version better?
Cherrywood is a rigid shell; leather is a softer covering that resists cracking. Both use the same plexi-glass bed.
