Reed Characteristics:

The Hermosa contra reeds have returned to MMI! These reeds are made by a professional contrabassoonist in Arizona. They have a lovely, dark sound and easy response, great for blending in orchestral tuttis, but they also have enough projection to cut through when needed.

As with any contrabassoon reed, these reeds are informed by the maker's instrument.
