Reed Characteristics:

The Thunemann shape bears a unique set of characteristics. While in between Rieger 1a and 2 in terms of overall size, the straight lines of the blade create a resonant, full tone with a pleasing combination of color and depth. These reeds are responsive and play especially well in the tenor range, lending them a soloistic sound good for any playing situation.

Notes from the Maker:

The maker uses a variety of cane which has all been hardness tested for consistency. Their reeds feature a warm and round sound with a "quick, snappy response."
