ZZ reeds give the player a rich, colorful sound with quick response.

The unique relationship between the heart and tip provides extraordinary color, great response and a durable life.

The HR* (pronounced HR star) produces a beautiful warm sound with free blowing ease. This Hard Rubber Saxophone Mouthpiece features a round, medium size chamber. The HR* is suited for Traditional Jazz, Big Band, Straight-Ahead and Bebop, but also has enough power for more modern styles. This is a favorite of band directors for its ability to blend in with a section.
