Product Description
Alexander Reeds
Alexander "DC" was designed with the Big Band and Blue Note eras in mind. "DC" has a profile with more wood on the tip, heart, and sides than the regular Superial model.
Product Overview and Specifications
Superial "D.C." Reeds

Tonal Concept of the Past
"DC" has a slightly harder tip and more wood in the heart and sides than Superial and this produces characteristics of a darker, more powerful, more solid tone core, but an enhanced feeling of aliveness, a singing but deep resonance. Made from the finest of wild grown Var cane, each and every reed table is checked under light for flatness and hand adjusted if necessary.

These are good reeds - I've been playing professionally for 20 years and have tried a lot of reeds. I find these give the right amount of resistance and a warm, full tone. They are sometimes hard to find however, so this point can be a bit frustrating. Hopefully Woodwind/Brasswind will keep them in constant stock.

I play in a very "in demand" Big Band Swing band and have used Alexander DC's exclusively for several years. They have a great resonance giving me the sound I want on my Yanigasawa Alto with a Meyer 5 mouthpiece. The DC's are a little softer than other reeds so you may want to go up a half step. However, I find that they are very responsive and allow bends very easily. They also have excellent longevity.
