A reed born from a collaboration between tradition and innovation
Designed in partnership with Swiss saxophonist Roland Graf, the Fiberreed G-SAX follows a clear approach: to recreate the feel and tonal balance of a cane reed while benefiting from the advantages of a modern material. Developed based on the Carbon model, it combines a design inspired by traditional cane with cutting-edge technology centered around carbon fiber, offering a consistent, reliable, and durable alternative to classic reeds.
For whom, and in which styles?
This reed is aimed at tenor saxophonists who want to gain consistency from rehearsal to rehearsal, and concert to concert, without suffering the variations of a natural reed. Its warmer tonal color makes it particularly suitable for repertoires seeking a dense, steady, and musical tenor sound: jazz, pop, variety, big band, brass band, or ensemble playing. At strength 2.0, it often suits a wide range of players, from intermediate to advanced levels, looking for easy response and immediate comfort.
Sound and design
The G-SAX features a curved heart cut, thicker in the center and thinner on the sides and towards the tip, similar to a cane reed. This geometry promotes smooth response, homogeneity between low, mid, and high registers, and a more natural playing feel for saxophonists accustomed to cane. The choice of material, focused on stability and durability, helps maintain consistent response while aiming for a warm, rich, and coherent tone.
Recommended compatible accessories
As this reed is intended for the tenor saxophone, it is designed to be used with a tenor sax ligature and a tenor sax mouthpiece. If you already use a standard tenor mouthpiece, you can generally integrate it into your usual setup without changing your routine.
