With the Onyx, Fiberreed highlights over 25 years of experience in designing synthetic reeds for wind instruments. This approach combines specialized know-how and modern manufacturing processes to offer a consistent, durable, and stable reed, regardless of playing conditions. The material used is based on carbon-enriched resins, a choice focused on strength and consistency.
For Which Tenor Saxophonist and Styles
This Fiberreed Onyx strength 2.0 reed is particularly suitable for tenor saxophonists seeking a flexible playing feel and easy sound production. It is aimed both at beginners who want to minimize maintenance constraints and at intermediate and advanced players looking for a reliable reed for rehearsals, stage, or orchestra. Its balance between warmth in the low register and ease in the high register makes it relevant for jazz, pop, funk, brass band, and more classical repertoire, depending on the mouthpiece and setup.
Sound and Design
Designed to facilitate attack, the Onyx promotes quick response and a sense of control from the very first notes. The tone is described as warm in the low register, with solid projection and powerful upper octaves, while maintaining accessible high notes. The synthetic material, based on carbon-enriched resins, provides appreciable stability : since the reed does not absorb moisture, it remains consistent and does not dry out, helping to maintain a steady response from session to session. In terms of maintenance, it is easy to clean, hygienic, and odorless, even after months of use.
