“For me Silverstein Ambipoly reeds are the closest synthetic reed to the sound and feel of cane. They provide a fantastically full, rich tone which can really project. The dynamic range is very impressive going from a whisper to a roar whilst still maintaining superb clarity of tone and control. They allow me to achieve excellent articulation and stable intonation over the complete instrument.Thanks to the life span of Ambipoly reeds I can be sure to capture my sound at it’s very best for months to come.”
