Clarinet Reeds Madame Geese 3.5 - 5 unopened, 7 used (tested) Purchased and opened last July. Bought at a musical instrument store in Tokyo. Alcohol-sterilized. If you'd like, I can flatten the unopened reeds by removing them from their boxes to save on shipping costs. The following is quoted from the Nagae Gakki website: M. Geese (Madame Geese) was founded in Antibes, southern France, in 1961, a region known for its cane production. From the beginning, they have primarily produced cane for oboe reeds, and their high-quality cane is highly regarded by many players. After years of research, they began producing clarinet reeds in 2017. They use their own methods to dry, store, and cut the cane grown in their own fields, and everything is made in-house until completion. In addition, the completed reeds are carefully selected one by one by Ms. Naoko Yoshimura, principal clarinetist of the Rouen Opera Orchestra, resulting in high-quality reeds with little variation, suitable for Japanese players. Geese reeds, which produce not only a comfortable playing feel but also a beautiful tone, are very popular with professional clarinetists and high-level players. Filed Cut 5 reeds per box Staff Comments: These reeds are characterized by their responsiveness. However, they also have a comfortable resistance to blowing, and the tone is uniform across the entire range, so they can be used by everyone from advanced players to beginners. Compared to other companies' reeds, the hardness setting is softer, so we recommend trying a hardness that is 1/4 to 1/2 thicker than what you usually use.
