Argentina

Ramiro Flores

“I’ve been using Gonzalez Reeds for many years. These reeds always give me what I need regarding the quality of the sound. They’re both vibrant and warm reeds, that respond spontaneously and, at the same time, they keep a firmness that allows me to play in all volume ranges with an incomparable ease. I use Gonzalez Reeds in the soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones, and in the clarinet. Their variety of presentations and reed styles also make them very interesting, because there are a lot of options to try and find the sound that fits the most in our artistic search. I would say that, in general, the ones that I like the most are the Jazz Local 627 . But in all the varieties I find interesting sounds. Thank you Gonzalez Reeds for the opportuniy of being your endorser of this excellent product!”.
