Plasticover: a reed designed for stability
Plasticover reeds are based on a standard Rico cut and add a plastic coating designed to remain stable against humidity. This design is especially appreciated when reeds are put under stress: temperature changes, condensation, or outdoor performances. Manufacturing and quality control processes have also been optimized to improve consistency from one reed to another.
For which musician and styles?
These reeds are aimed at musicians seeking a clear attack and immediate projection, particularly in jazz and pop. They are also well suited for outdoor performances, marching band/concert animation, and any situation where stability against humidity is a key factor. The strength 4.0 is targeted more towards players with a steady breath and stable embouchure.
Sound and design
The plastic coating promotes a bright sound and good projection, while limiting the effects of humidity on the reed's behavior. The American cut favors a direct response, useful for dynamic phrasing and sharp attacks. The result: a more consistent playing feel, and a reed that retains its qualities longer than a traditional uncoated model.
