Every woodwind player knows the scenario: the search for the perfect reed is often laborious and time-consuming.
Wooden reeds have to be played in before they develop their full sound, and even then their life span is short.
With every new reed , the cycle starts all over again - playing in, adjusting, and all too often the frustrating moment when the reed breaks prematurely or loses its quality.
In addition, there is the constant worry that moisture and wear will cause the reed to curl or smell unpleasant.
Discover Fiberreed, the revolutionary solution that overcomes all the problems of traditional wooden reeds and paves the way for unprecedented musical freedom.

Uwe AllweierTrustindex checks whether the original source of the rating is Google. The reeds have a very natural sound, are pleasant to the touch and, with the right thickness, are an absolute alternative to a "real reed". The advantages of the fiber reed lie above all in its insensitive handling and response under different thermal conditions. The reed is an enrichment for the woodwind world. Benjamin BeuckerTrustindex checks whether the original source of the rating is Google. The "RPL" Fiberreed for my 2.0 gauge tenor sax is very easy to clean as it is made of plastic and not wood. It responds very easily and comes very close to the sound of a wooden reed, but does not need to be moistened like a wooden reed. It is slightly more expensive than a wooden reed, but lasts much longer. A real gain thanks to the above-mentioned properties! The purchase was absolutely worth it! scott koehlerTrustindex checks whether the original source of the rating is Google. The best sounding synthétique reeds on the market. Well worth the investment ! Heinz JRookieTrustindex checks whether the original source of the rating is Google. I treated myself to a Hemp reed for my tenor. I play a Berg Larsen 110 2 SMS mouthpiece. The reed responds really well and is easy to play, especially in the upper register. Conclusion today: I've never played such an expensive reed before, but I enjoy it. It's really fun. I play it at home and also at live gigs. Josef SchneeweissTrustindex checks whether the original source of the rating is Google. A great thing this Fiberreed! Just string it up and start playing straight away! Tones jump out super, which I didn't know with wooden reeds. The sound and volume are also very good! LG JOSCH Lea SchädlerTrustindex checks whether the original source of the rating is Google. Super stable and the sound is wonderful for march/polka etc. We order the reeds reeds for our entire clarinet register, there is the right thickness for each one. We ordered one of each strength to try out. FrankTrustindex checks whether the original source of the rating is Google. I play the Fiberreed Carbon in the MS gauge on my tenor sax and am consistently impressed by the easy and consistent response in all tone ranges. This has brought my playing style a decisive step forward. In terms of volume, dynamics and sound, the fiber reeds are very easy to control and sound absolutely precise and powerful. Wood reeds may sound a little warmer, but this is ultimately a matter of taste. For me, the technical advantages and longevity of carbon fiber reeds outweigh the disadvantages. isselmusicTrustindex checks whether the original source of the rating is Google. I am very happy with the reed for the contrabass clarinet. I'm also considering switching to Fiberreed for the tenor saxophone.Load moreGoogle overall rating 4.8 out of 5, based on 95 reviews
