D'addario VENN Advanced Synthetic Reed G2 - Alto

A NEW SPECIES OF REED

Developed by the industry's most revered engineers, VENN signals a whole new era in woodwinds innovation: combining the stability and longevity of a synthetic reed with the sound and feel of natural cane. To mimic the organic structure of cane, we reverse-engineered cane itself, layering different strengths of polymer fibers with resin and organic reed elements to make up the reed blank. The result? VENN outlasts and outperforms anything else like it – all while sounding and playing like your favorite cane reed.

VENN Saxophone Reeds were developed by the industry's most revered engineers. By layering different strengths of polymer fiber with resin and organic elements, VENN can outlast and outperform virtually any saxophone reed.

Natural Cane, Replicated by Engineers
"In 2014, I challenged our Woodwinds team to create the first synthetic reed to duplicate the properties and playing characteristics of natural cane. After numerous years and thousands of hours, we accomplished the task by creating a material matrix of co-polymers, longitudinal fibers, and real cane elements that have the physical and sonic properties of real cane."
