Bravo Single Synthetic Reeds for Tenor Saxophone - Various Strengths

Bravo Reeds - designed in California - are the first Clarinet and Saxophone Reeds to meet the expectations of professionals and beginners alike.  These are perfect for beginners as they last longer and can take more abuse than normal cane reeds.

Features:
  • Premium Synthetic Reed
  • Non-toxic
  • Tip cracking and humidity resistant
  • Significantly longer reed life compared to the best cane reeds
  • Individual reed cases click together for secure storage
Please note - To sell this single reed I have opened a box of sealed reeds.  Sealed boxes of 5 Reeds are also available - please check my other listings.

Bravo reeds feel, play, and perform as well as cane and are engineered to guarantee consistency every player deserves. Students and professionals alike can benefit from the resistance to tip cracking, indifference to humidity and heat, instant playability, and significantly longer reed life compared to the best cane reeds. Individual reed cases click together for secure storage. Strict non-toxic manufacturing process imposed and certified by the stringent standards of the European Union.

Also available for Bb Clarinet, Alto, Tenor and Baritone Saxophone.

To extend the life of your reed, Bravo recommend that when you are finished playing, loosen the ligature and remove it from the mouthpiece and stored in the reed holder.  The reed can be cleaned periodically with water and a mild detergent.  Bravo also advise to rotate between two to three reeds on a weekly basis.  Bravo does not recommend trying to modify the reed.

Like any reed, once opened, due to hygienic reasons I am not able to take reeds back.  Of course, if you change your mind and the reeds have not been opened you are still welcome to return under the distance selling rules.

The People behind Bravo Reeds - In 1960, George Koregelos—equal parts musician, inventor and master craftsman, opened House of Woodwinds in Oakland, California. In a few short years, his talent as an instrument repair technician was attracting such world-renowned performers as Jean-Pierre Rampal, James Galway, Stan Getz, Lew Tabackin, and Richard Stolzman, to name just a few. From 1980 – 1995 he produced top-of-the-line hand crafted flutes in gold and silver.These instruments are now sought after by serious players and collectors.  But repairs were never enough to satisfy George. In time he invented such popular accessories as the H.W. Pad-Saver® and H.W. Brass-Saver® brush. George's agile and productive mind set ernestly upon the problem of synthetic reeds for woodwinds late in life. In conjunction with engineer-musician Shun-Hwa Chang, many formulas were tried and rejected until the perfect balance was reached.
