Detail 01
Synthetic material
No soaking and no break-in. It does not dry out or waterlog, so one reed stays playable far longer than cane.

1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
One synthetic Bb clarinet reed in strength 3, filed cut. For players who want a reed that plays the same every day without soaking or rotating.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players tired of cane reeds warping with weather or humidity
- Gigging and marching situations where a reed must play immediately
- Students who lose practice time fighting inconsistent cane
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who adjust reeds with a knife or sandpaper
- Anyone wanting a box of spares — this is one reed
- Players unsure of their strength; there is no assortment here
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Strength 3
A middle-of-the-road resistance. Heavier than a 2.5 for a firmer low register, lighter than a 3.5.
Detail 03
Filed cut
The straight cut across the bark shoulder. It tends to respond quickly and suits a wide range of mouthpiece facings.
Detail 04
Quantity: 1
You get a single reed, not a box. Price per reed is high; cost per playing hour is where it makes sense.
Detail 05
Bb clarinet cut
Shaped for the Bb soprano clarinet only. Bass, alto and Eb clarinets take different reed sizes.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One reed per package — no spare if you chip it

- 03Ligature and mouthpiece are not included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need to soak a Legere reed before playing?
No. Synthetic reeds play straight out of the case. Skip the water entirely — soaking does nothing for them.
02How many reeds come in the package?
One. This is a single strength 3 Bb clarinet reed, not a box.
03I play a cane 3. Is this the same strength?
Not necessarily. Strength scales differ between makers and cuts. Start at 3 and move up or down half a step if the response feels off.
04Will this fit my bass clarinet?
No. This is cut for Bb soprano clarinet. Bass clarinet uses a larger reed.
