Since 1983, Gonzalez has made reeds following the highest standards, and today their reeds are in the forefront of quality and innovation. All of the raw material used in their reeds is grown in their “3 de Mayo” plantation at the foot of the Andes Mountains; sourcing from a single cane-yard results in unmatched consistency
Last year, Gonzalez Reeds were added to Lisa's Clarinet Shop's website. As a partner, we have affiliate links for these reeds and other products on the LCS site. All online purchases will be shipped directly to you. Below, we provide descriptions of the reeds to give you an idea of their design and characteristics. This spring, we will start offering build-your-own reed-packs in the store. Just like the Pick and Mix Gonzalez Bb Clarinet Single Reeds on the LCS website.
The Gonzalez Classic Reeds
The Classic reeds have a classic and balanced French cut, with expressivity and excellent tone in all registers. Their technical characteristics offer musicians flexibility, and makes them easy to adapt to.
Classic reeds are available in strengths from 1.5 to 5 (1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5)
The Gonzalez FOF Reeds
The FOF reeds are the result of design work carried out together with a group of clarinetist friends to meet their high demands, hence the name FOF (“For Our Friends”). They have an “American” cut with a thicker heart and shoulders/tip left freer to vibrate, achieving a refined balance between treble and very deep bass
FOF reeds are available in strengths from 2 to 5 (2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 4, 4.25, 4.5, 4.75, 5)
The Gonzalez GD Reeds
The “GD” name refers to the union of the Gonzalez and Davolos families, current owners of the brand. GD reeds are designed for the musician looking for a deeper, richer sound. They are made from the thickest part of the raw reed material, and cut to have a thicker heel that provides vibrancy and durability
GD reeds are available in strengths from 2.25 to 5 (2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 4, 4.25, 4.5, 4.75, 5)
