Fiberreed Onyx: synthetic reed expertise at the service of the tenor sax
The Fiberreed Onyx continues the tradition of synthetic reeds designed to offer consistent playability, repetition after repetition. This series benefits from the brand's accumulated experience in manufacturing reeds for wind instruments, combined with modern production processes. The result: a reed designed for tenor saxophonists who want reliable sensations without depending on the natural variations of cane.
For which tenor saxophonist?
This reed is suitable for a wide audience, from the beginner musician seeking simple and reassuring response, to the intermediate or advanced saxophonist who wants a stable reed during rehearsals, lessons, or on stage. Its sound profile, with warm lows and facilitated highs, is particularly well suited to jazz, pop, funk, and ensemble music contexts, while remaining relevant for technical work and intonation on a daily basis.
Sound and design
The Onyx emphasizes ease of attack and homogeneity across registers, two essential criteria for the tenor sax where balance between lows and highs determines projection. The low register is warm and stable, while the upper octaves gain in power and ease of production, helping to secure sustained notes, slurs, and attacks in the high register. Made from carbon-enriched resins, it also aims for high mechanical strength: fewer risks of cracks and a consistent feel under the lip, session after session.
Recommended compatible accessories
To make the most of the stability of a synthetic reed, pairing it with a well-fitted ligature and a tenor mouthpiece in good condition is crucial. Regular cleaning (rinsing and wiping) also helps maintain consistent response and a clean sensation in the mouth.
