Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take

- Students building embouchure in their first year or two
- Players who want ten reeds to rotate and cull

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting resistance for loud, projecting playing
- Anyone on a wide tip opening needing a harder reed
- Tenor or clarinet players — alto saxophone only
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
Box of 10
Enough to rotate several reeds and discard the duds. Cane varies, so a full box is worth more than a few.
Detail 03
La Voz strength names
Graded Soft through Hard rather than by number. Soft sits near the easy-blowing end of numbered scales.
Detail 04
Unfiled cut
No filed shoulder band. Adds a little resistance and body compared to a filed reed of the same strength.
Detail 05
Alto saxophone size
Cut for alto only. Tenor, soprano and clarinet reeds are different dimensions and will not seal properly.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece, ligature and cap are not included
- 02Soft reeds on a wide tip opening will close up — check your facing first
- 03Wet each reed before playing and store flat so it does not warp
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What number is La Voz Soft?
La Voz grades Soft through Hard instead of numbers. Soft falls near the easy-blowing low end of a numbered scale.
02Why buy a box of ten?
Cane varies piece to piece. Ten lets you sort out the good ones, rotate them, and keep playing while others dry.
03Are these too soft for a marching band?
Likely. Soft reeds close off under hard blowing. If you play loud outdoors, step up in strength.
04Do these work on a clarinet?
No. These are alto saxophone reeds. Clarinet reeds are narrower and shaped differently.
