Hallo, ich bin Anfänger spiele seit 4 Monaten Tenorsaxophon. Habe jetzt das erste mal ein Carbon Fiberreed ausprobiert und bin fasziniert vom leichten ansprechen und vom Klang. Super Sache – macht weiter so.
Nach fast vier Wochen Fiberreed Carbon Spiel mein Eindruck: Klasse Ansprache, voller Ton von unten bis oben, etwas „glatter“ als mit den Javas. Ich wüsste nicht, warum ich wieder wechseln sollte.
Ich habe mir vor einigen Wochen ein „Zebrablättchen“ bestellt und war schon damals ziemlich begeistert. Jetzt hab ich mich bei der Bestellung einer Freundin drangehängt und das gleiche Blatt nochmal in S bestellt. Heute hab ich es zum ersten Mal ausprobiert und ich war hin und weg! Schon nach wenigen Tönen wusste ich: DAS ist es!
Vielen Dank aus Bayreuth.
Sehr geehrter Herr Hartmann, auf meine Bitte haben Sie nach dem ersten Kauf das Blatt der Stärke 2.5 gegen ein Blatt der Stärke 2 umgetauscht. Vielen Dank für die Kulanz. Das 2.5 Blatt war zu schwer zu blasen, das 2er Blatt dagegen fantastisch. Ich kann nur sagen, dass dieses Blatt phänomenal ist.
Hallo Herr Hartmann, ja, das Blättchen ist angekommen, der Rechnungsbetrag wurde bereits überwiesen. Es spielt sich übrigens ganz toll. Die Stärke ist in Ordnung.
I am a professional musician in Chicago, Il., USA. I have tried several brands of synthetic reeds after being frustrated by the inconsistency of cane reeds. Your Fiberreed was the most comfortable, best sounding and longest lasting reed that I found. It’s great to have that kind of consistentcy night after night.
I have been playing for 25 years on a Selmer Mark VI saxophone. I have tried different types of reeds. However, a friend of mine from work recommended a Cordora Fiberreen, I never went back to a cane reed. Try a medium with almost any facing (mouth piece) and you will get hooked, in my opinion. Practice daily, Victor.
I play in horn sections playing festivals throughout Europe and the States. Many times I need to cut through poor mixes and over the top guitars. I sifted through untold boxes of cane reeds and shifted my focus to fiber reeds as they have the altissimo response needed in this setting. Harry Hartman reeds stand out as the hands down winner. It is now October and I’m still playing the same reed that I broke out in Paris in April. My bandmates all turned their heads at first sound and said“ Whoa Daddy“ „Your sound is rockin‘ homes“ I’m now a devout Hartman fan and cannot return to any other. This player strongly recommends trying them.
You may quote me on the following (and even give my email to anyone who wishes to hear my testimony first hand: chenyehezkely_at_hotmail_com). I thank the Lord for fiberglass and for lazer and for computers and for Harry Hartmann. Playing your reeds was for me an experience of salvation. I am happy I insisted on sending them back and forth for additional temperring – for now they are perfect. I suggest you tell all your present and future clients that they may do the same, for then you will have more happy clients.
I enjoy the sound of the reeds very much. Best regards
Harry, I just wanted to let you know I have been using your carbon reed for a couple of years and it is awesome. I have tried just about every natural and synthetic reed available and yours are THE BEST. The firm tip allows for easy altissimo while the thin body lets the low end blow effortlessly. I use them on alto, soprano, and tenor and have the other guys in my group doing the same.
I bought a reed for my son – he loves it. He is able to produce the sound he was looking for and hopefully it will last a bit longer than the Van Dorens. Thank you.
Thanks! These are the best synthetics I’ve ever tried (and I have tried them all!)……………Daryl.
Von Carbon Toptone Fiberreed für mein Altsax bin ich absolut begeistert. Ich spiele es auf meinem Dukoff P7 im Jazz – Pop – Unterhaltungsbereich Die Tiefe geht wie Butter und das Flageolett ist leichter denn je………… Ich denke Du hast es geschafft das Holzblatt zu ersetzen.
By the way, I also wanted to say that I am a complete „sound fanatic“ and favor an extremely clear sax tone in normal playing – (softer tone is ok for very quiet playing) I absolutely love the clarity of tone that the fiberreed provides – this too is unmatched, basically making all other synthetic reeds out there fall short.
Dear Mr. Hartmann, I’m a professional musician and I tried your Fiberreed for alto sax and I think is very good play, because I have problems with natural reeds. I will be very glad to meet you a day.
