Fiberreed Onyx: synthetic reed expertise serving the clarinet
The Fiberreed Onyx reed is based on over 25 years of experience in designing synthetic reeds for wind instruments. Its manufacture from carbon-enriched resins aims for production consistency and playing stability that are difficult to achieve with cane, while maintaining a natural response feel. Within the Fiberreed range, the Onyx series stands out for its projection and ease of sound production, designed to offer comfortable playing without sacrificing sound presence.
For which clarinetist and in which styles?
With its strength 2.0, this reed is very suitable for beginner to intermediate clarinetists seeking easy sound production, as well as for more advanced players looking for a flexible reed for wind orchestra, brass band, pop music, or daily practice. Its stability against moisture also makes it a relevant choice for long rehearsals, outdoor performances, and temperature changes, where cane reeds can be more temperamental.
Sound and design
The Fiberreed Onyx emphasizes an easy attack and a quick response, useful for clean articulation and effortless dynamic transitions. The low register is described as warm, while the 2nd and 3rd octaves gain in power and stability, with more accessible high notes for tuning and comfort. Thanks to its synthetic design, it does not absorb moisture : the reed thus maintains a consistent feel from day to day, without a "breaking-in" phase or variations related to drying.
Recommended compatible accessories
To get the best from your reed, a clarinet swab and a suitable cleaning product can help keep the mouthpiece and barrel clean, thereby preserving sound precision. A reed case is also useful to protect the reed during transport and avoid impacts on the tip.
