Fibracell vs Fiberreed - Synthetic Saxophone Reed Comparison

https://HowToPlaySaxophone.org/fibrac... Listen to hear the difference between these popular saxophone synthetic reed brands. Playing tests between the Fibracell Premier saxophone reed with the new Fiberreed Carbon Onyx and the Fiberreed Hemp. Like all makers of synthetic reeds, the whole idea is to artificially mimic how a natural cane reed works. The one who does this the best will eventually be the winner! All manufacturers will go about this in their own way of course, although there are some similarities.The first Synthetic reeds were made from plastic. Some people still refer to synthetic reeds as plastic reeds but the industry has move on from just using plastics.This is a good thing and the reason there are more and more players using them today. They are much better now than even just a few years ago. Most are made from several types of polymer-composites such as fibers and then held together with some type of epoxy resin. Also used are the materials polystyrene, polycarbonate, carbon fibers and fiberglass. The Fiberreed Hemp uses the natural hemp material along with natural wood fibers. This actually makes it an all natural reed. Just not in the natural sense as we would think of a cane reed. These days I talk to a lot of players that have either switched over to a synthetic sax reed or are using it alongside their natural cane reeds. So, it does seem like more and more are doing this but in reality, the reed industry is still selling way more natural reeds than synthetic ones. At least for now anyways. Some people say they'll never switch from a cane reed and then there are others who swear never to go back to one! I'm not surprised though, seems like everything else that involves saxophone equipment, the reeds, ligature, mouthpiece and saxophone... it's all very subjective. Synthetic materials have really taken over in many of the other instruments that once relied on natural materials. Guitar and bass strings were once made from the gut of cows and sheep. Now that would be pretty hard to find and if so a lot more expensive than the steel and nylon strings we see everyday. Even for us sax players, there's no more mouthpieces made out of wood! We're using plastic, ebonite, metal, carbon fiber, and even glass.
