1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Plastic-coated baritone sax reeds in strength 3, five per box. For bari players who want reeds that hold up longer than plain cane.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Marching or outdoor playing where humidity swings wreck cane
- Doublers who leave a bari sitting between sets
- Players who want consistency box to box
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players whose mouthpiece needs a softer reed than 3
- Anyone needing alto or tenor reeds — this is baritone only
- Players committed to uncoated cane for feel
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
Plasticover coating
Sealed cane surface, so the reed absorbs less moisture and stays playable longer per reed.
Detail 03
Baritone cut
Physically larger than tenor or alto reeds. Will not seat correctly on a smaller mouthpiece.
Detail 04
Box of 5
Enough to rotate through a set and find the two or three that play best.
Detail 05
Coated surface feel
Slicker against the lip than bare cane. Some players adjust embouchure pressure slightly.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mouthpiece and ligature are not included
- 02Check your current reed strength before switching — 3 may feel stiff
- 03Reeds are consumable; rotate several rather than playing one daily
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit an alto or tenor sax?
No. These are cut for baritone saxophone. Alto and tenor mouthpieces need their own reed sizes.
02How many reeds are in the box?
Five.
03Do coated reeds last longer than regular cane?
The coating keeps moisture out of the cane, so each reed generally stays usable longer than an uncoated one.
04Is strength 3 right for a beginner?
On baritone, 3 takes real air support. A newer player often starts softer and works up to it.
