Keilwerth Alto Saxophone SX90 – Black Lacquer

This ALL NEW JAZZ reed features a unique relationship between the heart of the reed, where the tone is produced, and the thickness of the tip, which is responsible for vibration. The result is a reed with extraordinary tone, with immediate response in a free-blowing manner  even in the altissimo range. 

Clear Tone... Instant Response 

Designed to resist moisture and climate changes, Plasticover is ideal for doublers who need to make quick changes between instruments, and for use in outdoor ensembles such as marching bands. 

Whether in moist tropics or in desert heat, Plasticover responds instantly. The durable, plastic coating also provides a clear, projecting tone, making Plasticover a favorite with jazz, studio and pop musicians.

* Professional-quality cane reed 

* Most flexible grade of cane for instant response 

* French-filed for fast response

Phil WOODS: 

Nelson Hill gave me a Vandoren V16! He said, Try it, you'll like it. I tried it. I like it! Eureka! At last, a sensible reed! They feel good and the percentage of usable reeds is incredible. Somebody is paying attention and I sleep a little better knowing that! The base is thicker giving my old, stretched ligature a better grip and the intonation, always a Vandoren tradition, remains true and spot on! 

The unreal reed plays like cane, sounds like cane, better projection, and lasts up to 4 times longer than cane reeds. Greater high note stability than most plastic reeds. Available in Soft, Medium Soft, Medium, Medium Hard, and Hard strengths. One reed per package.
