They are available in both filed and unfiled models. Offered in third strengths, rather than half strengths, so players can choose the most precise strength for their individual equipment.

 * Offered in boxes of 5 for Tenor and Baritone and boxes of 10 for Soprano and Alto

 * Outstanding control and projection

 * Available in both Filed and Unfiled models for the full range of saxophones

 * Available in third strengths (soft, medium, and hard) from 2.0 to 4.

Filed vs. Unfiled—What Does It Mean?

Filed
A reed that goes through one additional cutting process that removes bark from the reed’s shoulders. This allows for faster vibration.

Unfiled
A reed is unfiled when bark from the reed’s shoulders remains intact. Many players enjoy the added resistance of this additional material.
