Gonzalez FOF reeds for Bb clarinet are the result of a long project carried out together with a group of clarinetists friends, They were looking for a reed design that would meet their high requirements. In honor of them, this model is called FOF (For Our Friends).
This reed features an American cut and a long and elastic profile. These reeds are made from 3.6 mm thick segment tapering down to 3.18 mm. Its pronounced conicity leaves the tip freer to vibrate. Due to this it is necessary to pay attention to its centering when placing it on your mouthpiece. The profile is characterized by having a thicker heart than a classic reed, and is very pronounced in the shoulder area, this allows the reed to vibrate more freely, achieving an excellent balance between treble and very deep bass.
