Your cart is empty.The Forestone material is a mixture of synthetic resin and wood fiber, more than 50 percent of which is bamboo. It is tasteless, odorless and non-toxic. The exceptional sound, resilience and flexibility of Forestone reeds is due mainly to this special material. Forestone reeds are made by a proprietary process developed in Japan resulting in optimally smooth vamps that are uniform and consistent, reed to reed. They are perfectly balanced side to side and front to back. The profile tapers to a 0.1 mm thickness across the tip. Held up to light, the reeds display the classic upside-down-U shape associated with cane reeds. FEEL The difference in feel between Forestone and cane is minimal. That said, we recommend to take some time to get comfortable with Forestone, in the same way you would with any new equipment. ADJUSTMENT Blowing resistance can be adjusted with Forestone reeds by slightly raising or lowering the reed on the mouthpiece table (lower = less resistance, higher = more resistance). The material is also sufficiently hard that you can use your usual reed tools for adjustment. LONGEVITY The life of a Forestone reed will vary from player to player but will outlast cane as the material is impervious to breakdown by saliva and will not warp due to changes in humidity or altitude. After a certain number of hours, however, the reeds will begin to feel less lively and responsive. This signals the time has come to retire the reed in favor of a newer one. MODELS Traditional: French filed cut and is very free blowing for easy playing. It has a bright round sound. Hinoki: American unfiled cut, for a lively response and a free sound. More character and dynamic range than the Traditional model. Black Bamboo: French filed cut, More resistance and more control. It produces a dark classical sound. White Bamboo: French filed cut with a Lively response and a free sound. This is the all-rounder, made for use in all styles.

Se dovessi dare un voto da 1 a 10 la mia valutazione è 6. Devono ancora migliorare la qualità perché con il tempo perde molto. Non risponde come quando la si usa per la prima volta.

固さ(普段は青箱3〜3半)音は良いですが開けたて小一時間でこの状態( '△｀)休ませれば戻るがやはり小一時間持ちません、とにかく( '△｀)です

実は自分ではなく、アマチュアですが奏者に使ってもらったところとてもよいということでした。初めてこのリードを購入した理由は①わりと安価でたすかること②国産と表示があるので極端な期待外れはきっとないだろうと思ったことです。耐久性はまだこれからですが購入して正解だった感じです。

実物を見たことがなかったので不安でしたがお試しのつもりで購入しました。一枚の単価は高くてもハズレがないので非常に満足しています。近々本番用にもう一枚仕入れようと思ってます♪後は耐久性がどれだけあるのか検証したいと思います。
