NEW for 2008
After the
introduction of Superial, "DC", and Classique in the 1990's, we began to
conceive of a model which would add a new and different dimension to the tonal
universe of our reeds.
This reed was born following extensive
conversations and correspondence between Tom Alexander and the legendary late,
great Jazz saxophone genius Michael Brecker beginning some years ago. Without
Michael's gracious and invaluable feedback following experimentation with
different prototype designs, this new reed simply would not have come into
existence.
NY was also thoroughly field tested by subjecting it to
many months of on the job playing in the concert and tour performances of
several of our World Artists who gave it their seal of approval and use it as
their primary reed today.
The result is a new reed made with our same
high grade S. France cane, yet a redesigned tip and profile which produces a
big and bold sound, full response throughout the registers and the type of
vibrant, solid tone traditionally associated with that of the New York music
scene. The tip is somewhat harder than DC which gives it a sustaining power,
especiially in the high end of the horn. Some players prefer NY a half step
softer than DC or Superial (i.e. DC 3-NY 2 1/2), others like the extra hardness
as it is." Actually, NY isn't a whole half step softer than Superial but more
like from a 1/4-1/2 step harder as some players feel it. |
