The Wood Stone reeds are made of premium quality French cane from the Var region.
Cut to the exacting standards of Wood Stone (Japan) these hand selected reeds have a jazz unfiled cut, and feature an immediate and flexible tone.
Bob Mintzer (Top US Saxophonist):
'The Wood Stone reeds are incredibly consistent, vibrant and long lasting. The reeds have an even, dark tone that spans the full range of the instrument. I can't say enough about these reeds, they simply work great!'
Tom E Politzer (Tenor Sax, Tower of Power):
'Wood Stone reeds are simply the best Sax reeds I've ever used. Great cane and super consistent straight out of the box! I couldn't believe it when I first tried them, great reed after great reed, and that continues to be my experience. Also, they last longer than any reed I've ever played. Do yourself a favour and try them if you haven't yet.'

Very good reeds. All played straight out of the box. Bit softer than marking - no problem, I'll move up a strength next time

reasonable quality but some reeds not workable. If there are red fibers in the cane that it is a sign of bad quality.

Good reeds. Works fine over the whole range of the sax.

Just bought my third box of tenor reeds. First time went for 2.5 but upped to 3 for second box as 2.5 seemed a little soft. Box was very good so just got another box of 3s but this time they do seem to be harder, more like i would expect from other brands so just wondering whether Ishimori have changed their gradings? I would be interested to hear from other users. Still like the reeds very much but I am having to do a bit more prep work on them than previously

Bit early to call excellent but so far quality and tone seem good

I tried this product out as it sounded just what i wanted - a consistent and responsive tenor sax reed. The reeds are indeed very good and give me a very good overall sound. The strengths are softer compared to other makes, and where with other reeds I would normally use a 2.5, I have found a 3 more comparable. For me, they do not last as long as, say, the Francois Louis Excellence reeds, which is a shame with such a good sound. But I would definitely recommend them.
