Double profile sheet
A French manufacturer of clarinet and saxophone accessories produces a new double profile reed.
The French manufacturer of clarinet and saxophone accessories, Ligaphone, is expanding its product range with the realization of the new double-profile reed, a reed with a recess (counter-profile) on the underside of the reed. This is the first time in the history of woodwind instruments that the top and bottom of the reed have been designed to complement each other. After a long period of research, the two complementary profiles complement each other perfectly. The elongated hollowing/deepening on the underside of the reed improves the vibration. The profile of the upper side of the blade corresponds to the traditional manufacturing method and is characterized by particular precision. The reed is freed from its internal tensions, shows more flexibility, a better response, less "deformation" at the reed edges. The reed is made from the famous natural cane of the French Var region in the best reed-making tradition.
The "Classic" collection is available in 6 gauges (from 1½ to 4) for Bb clarinet (French system) as well as soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophone. It will soon be supplemented by the "Jazz" collection.
