Vandoren Reeds

The standard for natural cane reeds for saxophone.

D'Addario Reed Case

This is a great stand-alone reed case that not only protects up to 8 reeds from damage but provides consistent performance.

Reed Care

It is vitally important to store reeds properly with a consistent humidity. These Pelican cases are a great and inexpensive solution.

Neck Straps

This Rico strap is comfortable and with the snap hook provides extra security for the saxophone.

Mouthpieces

Selmer S80 and Vandoren AL3 Optimum.

Reed Adjustment

High grit sandpaper is great for an easy and cheap tool but the Vandoren reed resurfacer will last a lifetime.

Ligatures

Vandoren Optimum and Rovner Versa are great options. Much better way of securing the reed to the mouthpiece as well as improved tone and consistency.
