Reserve reeds are crafted using naturally-grown cane from D’Addario’s own fields. D’Addario has pioneered the first practical and precise system to digitally measure and cut the incredibly complex geometrical patterns necessary to reinvent single reeds. Reserve reeds are cut to the tightest tolerances, offering the most consistent performance.

Reserve reeds feature a thick blank which offers a rich, warm tone with a heavy spine that promotes dynamic flexibility. The construction also provides exceptional tone quality in all registers, a narrow rail slope to produce consistency of response, and a traditional tip thickness for ease of articulation.
