The new Superial "DC" (or "Double Cut") reed has a slightly harder tipand more wood in the heart and sides than Superial and thereforeproduces a more solid tonal core, enhanced projection and power, and alittle darker harmonic timbre than Superial, but still one with thekind of "edge" and authority needed in soloing or lead work. The "DC"tonal concept is reminiscent of the saxophonists from the 1950's to the"Blue Note", "Miles" and "Trane", and "Wayne" eras.This is a reed ofincreased power that would be particularly suitable for big band, stageband or marching reed players, as well. Since its introduction in 1995,"DC" seems to be especially favored by professionals who need a lot ofpower and want to push the reed to the limits of its dynamiccapabilities, while still retaining an even balance from top to bottom.
Box of 5 reeds.
