Designed to plug & Play, and should require very little adjustment. These reeds have a carbon fibre bass tongue for a deep tonal quality. The body is moisture absorbant and the bass reed is invertible. The alloy pitch adjuster and the hemped reed seat can be unscrewed and swapped around.

These would be a great reed for the typical band player. Big tone. They are easy to set up and get going. Very little adjustment is needed with these reeds. perfect, September 1st, 2010 05:34 am

I've never had any problems with these reeds. I'm going on three years with this set and they are still singing away! Finicky but sound good, September 22nd, 2008 06:24 pm

These reeds sound very smooth once they are up and going, a very nice blending sound neither bass nor tenor dominant. They tend to howl however on the strike in until a higher pressure is reached, which bothers some people and is usually not desirable in a band setting. I think they use a little bit more air than I am used to but it is not very noticeable and may be my imagination. I have also bought the A 440 Hz extenders and they do indeed bring the drones down to 440 Hz, however you might find the reed longer than your drone stock!
