D'Addario | Reserve Alto Saxophone Reeds

D’Addario’s Reserve Alto Saxophone Reeds are a premium, filed reed that offers a rich, warm tone. Each D’Addario Reserve reed is precisely cut on their state-of-the-art reed manufacturing machines. Special diamond cutters ensure unparalleled precision and consistency from reed to reed. The Reserve reeds are made exclusively from lower-internode cane, a technique that Rico pioneered, to yield the highest-density cane available. Only the lower sections of each cane pole are selected, giving greater consistency thanks to the ultra-dense structure. Reserve reeds are so exceptional, that less than five percent of reed cane qualifies. Reserve reeds have set a new standard for quality with reed players.

Reserve reeds feature a heavy spine that promotes dynamic flexibility, and exceptional tone quality in all registers, a long vamp profile to produce consistency of response, and a traditional tip thickness for ease of articulation.
