Product Information

These new Yamaha synthetic Tenor Saxophone reeds are labelled as the ASR series. A brand new design and addition to the reed market, Yamaha are seeking to give beginners and advancing players a durable and consistent reed option. The aim is to let players concentrate on their development without having to struggle with the differences found in natural cane reeds.

These Tenor Sax reeds emphasise easy playability and a high quality tone production. They have been tested for a full 320 hours of playing time without displaying any changes in stiffness or shape. Based on 50 mins practice per day these reeds could last up to 1 year! 

Developed internally the Yamaha team tested a wide variety of cane and synthetic reeds on the market to better understand how they could develop a new solution. Some of the new and unique features of this Yamaha synthetic Tenor Sax reed include:
  • Material: A new formulation based on fibrous material. Similar tone to natural reeds
  • Texture: Simulated reed texture, designed to look and feel very close to a natural cane reed
  • Shape: Original 'cut' with a central rib and lighter sides. Designed for easy projection and immediate flexibility 
  • Heat Treatment: These reeds are given a heat treatment during the production process. This ensures the shape stays true for many months and it helps develop a full, rich tone
  • Engraved: Each reed is laser-engraved with its strength

Yamaha Synthetic Tenor Saxophone Reed Reviews

Anonymous review via Feefo  -  2023-01-26

It's o.k and well described. It's bright (dare I say brash?) sound would be okay to cut though a band mix, or used on a second sax that's used for a few songs only. Even as a backup emergency reed! But I prefer the more mellow tone on natural reeds wherever possible. Though, if Yamaha made it more mellow it would be perfect.
