Bb Clarinet-FOF

For Our Friends (FOF) reeds are meant for those clarinetists that need a reed with a darker sound. They are made following an “American” cut. These reeds are thicker in the heart; therefore, they take a bit longer to become stable. These reeds are made out of our premium quality Arundo Donax cane, on segments of 3.6 mm rectified to 3.18 mm, leaving the scraping in a darker area of the reed, resulting in a darker sound. The cane used on these reeds is seasoned for at least 4 years before its manufacturing. The reed’s vibrating characteristics are completely released due to its deeply carved shoulders, achieving a perfect balance between sharp and deep bass sounds. This scrape is characterized by having a thicker heart section than a classic reed. All Gonzalez reeds are hand selected and 100% ORGANIC: totally free of pesticides and chemical products. 10 REEDS PER BOX.

This cane is made of premium quality on a segment of 3.6 mm. rectified to 3.18 mm. leaving the scraping in a more morbid area of the reed, this results in a darker sound.  ​The material is stored to age for at least 4 years before its manufacture.  Because of its deeply carved shoulders, the reed is completely released in the bass sounds, where vibrates like no other.  While a heart with higher density allows to attack the high notes with ease and refinement.

These reeds are suitable for intermediate, advanced and professional players.

The Gonzalez FOF has proved popular with professional and advanced players. With an American cut they have a thickish tip and actually a thick heart as well. Because of this design they give a strong, rich, dark sound but do come up feeling harder than you may be used to.
  • American cut suits mouthpieces with American facing curve.

  • Rich, dark sound.
  • Supplied in pack of 10.
