These reeds are the second generation of the KlastiG oboe bocal reed designed and made by K.GE.
They have teamed up with a Japanese company specialising in synthetic materials. Through vigorous testing, they have now launched a synthetic reed that provides a warm and dynamic quality.
The reeds are bound using the bocal reed tying-on method and scraped by a CNC machine. It can be adjusted like normal with a standard reed knife.
The US-Style KlastiG reed is only made in their hybrid cut at this time. They are still working on a European-cut reed. This is the only synthetic English horn reed on the market and it is well balanced with a nice, warm tone.
This synthetic reed needs to be soaked in water before playing. We recommend about 80°C/176°F for two minutes, and during a break it's good to keep it in room temperature water.
