The latest addition to the Alexander family of reeds, the "New York" reed was born following extensive conversations between Tom Alexander and a legendary Jazz saxophonist friend some years ago, and through experimentation with different prototype designs. It has also been thoroughly field tested by subjecting it to many months of on the job playing in the concert and tour performances of several of world calss artists who've now given it their seal of approval. The result is a new reed made with our same high grade Southern France cane, yet a redesigned tip and profile which produces a big and bold sound, full response throughout the registers and the type of vibrant, solid tone traditionally associated with that of the New York music scene. The tip is somewhat harder than DC which gives it a sustaining power, especiially in the high end of the horn. Box of 5. |
