Heart 40-.42 in thickness.  Moderate windows, defined heart/back with catch. Moderate spine, modified at base of reed to reduce internal dimensions and bring up pitch. Professional level response. Every reed gets dozens of micro adjustments and quality tests prior to certification and shipment. 

  • Standard Professional and Elite Professional Models. 

    Finishing Touches:

    • Tested in two rooms replicating the embouchure of the player I expect to purchase it, not necessarily my own.  
    • Reed prep instructions are included.
    • Light application of Vaseline to moisturize cork. 
    • Covid sanitized. 
    • Reeds are guaranteed against cracks and leaks or other defects with a refund or replace remedy.  They are otherwise not returnable.



      Moon River is a metaphor of yearning for the unpredictable eddies of an adventurous life, to be swept along by the currents to somewhere new: “Wherever you're going, I'm going your way.”
