Gonzalez FOF clarinet reeds were designed for the clarinetist looking for a darker, richer tone. Using an “American”, unfiled cut, Gonzalez FOF clarinet reeds are made from a 3.6mm blank of cane that is then cut down to a thick blank 3.16 mm thickness. The reed is thus cut from a denser part of the cane, yielding a more vibrant overall performance.
FOF Reeds: "For Our Friends"
- Cut and thickness: The F.O.F. reeds originate from a thicker “blank” of cane: 3.6 mm, rectified to about 3.18 mm. This means more wood (mass) in the heart of the reed
- American cut, un-filed design: This contributes to their thicker internal heart and darker tone
- Aged cane: The cane used is aged at least 4 years before manufacturing. That aging, plus the thicker wood in the heart, is what gives these reeds their characteristic sound
- Shoulder and taper design: The shoulders are more deeply carved to free up vibration in the lower/“bass” areas of the reed, while still maintaining enough heart for clarity in the upper register
