The Jones Artist English Horn Reed is crafted for discerning intermediate to professional players. Each reed is hand‑tied using high‑quality cane and wound with distinctive purple string onto a precision brass staple, then sealed with a protective lacquer finish for durability. A carefully placed wire allows you to adjust the tip opening to suit your embouchure and playing style. Available in Medium Soft, Medium and Medium Hard strengths, the reed is tuned to concert pitch (A = 440 Hz) and individually tested and adjusted by hand before leaving the workshop, ensuring reliable response and a refined, resonant tone.
