Flavoreeds are just like the name says….Flavored Reeds!
If you play Clarinet, German Clarinet, Alto Sax or Tenor Sax, you’ll want to try these reeds that not only play great…they taste great too!
In the founders’ retail music store, band directors complained that their students were not wetting their reeds thoroughly before placing them on the mouthpieces. Students did not like the taste of cane reeds. The company’s goal was to produce a premium cane reed that played well, eliminated the wood cane taste, and gave the reed a pleasant flavor. After eight years of research, Flavoreeds perfected a method without changing the playing characteristics of a premium reed. Some players have suggested that Flavoreeds play better due to the process, which fills the pores of the reed.
What are the most popular flavors? Shortly after they introduced Blue Raspberry, they discovered that some of the blue was bleeding on the lips. They didn’t want that so they stopped producing it. However, the small amount in the dealers’ inventory was soon depleted and the demand was such that they had to bring it back. It became the best seller. It became “cool” to have slightly blue lips.
All the red flavors are the next best sellers:
- Strawberry,
- Bubble Gum,
- Cherry Red
Watermelon. Cinnamon, which does not have a color, is used by students of band directors who do not want a colored reed in the band. Mint Green and Piña Colada are the more adult flavors. (There is no alcohol in any of the flavors.)
