An "Artist" Reed Born from Precision Work
The RPL model is the first in the Fiberreed Artist series. It was developed in collaboration with Rodrigo Pires de Lima, with a clear goal: to offer a reed designed for the demands of classical music. The cut profiles were refined at the factory through numerous meticulous adjustments until the desired balance between resistance, stability, and articulation finesse was achieved.
For Which Alto Saxophonist and Styles
This reed is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced saxophonists seeking reliable projection and precise intonation, especially in classical settings (studies, wind orchestra, chamber music, competitions). Thanks to its consistent response, it is also suitable for musicians who frequently change playing venues and temperature conditions and want to maintain consistent sensations without humidity-related "surprises."
Sound and Design
With its pronounced heart and traditional curved cut, the Fiberreed RPL emphasizes a pure sound, controlled projection, and precise articulation. The construction alternating layers of carbon fibers and hollow fibers provides stable resistance and a homogeneous response while avoiding the typical variations of cane reeds. The result: a reed that retains its playing qualities over time, does not dry out, and remains easy to maintain daily.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
If your alto saxophone mouthpiece accepts standard reeds, a well-maintained ligature for alto sax mouthpiece and a suitable mouthpiece cap will help secure the reed and protect its tip. For maintenance, gentle cleaning after playing helps keep the surface clean and hygienic.
- Easy to clean, hygienic and odour-free, even after months of use
