Silverstein – Alta Ambipoly Bb Clarinet Reed

Alta Ambipoly is the perfect reed choice for players already comfortable playing a synthetic reed. Ideal for the soloist, orchestral or jazz player because it produces quick response with minimal effort. This reed is full of a vibrant, colorful sonority with less cover resulting in a more direct, clear and up-front sound.

Alta plays with an equal projection to other reeds but also with a larger volume. Importantly, it has a depth and complexity of tonal colors that affords the clarinetist interesting timbral choices.

The altissimo has been re-engineered, up to fourth-octave altissimo C, and competes with any reed on the market for clarity, response and intonation. With a high degree of flexibility, it will respond in a robust manner to increases of intensity. Similarly, the reeds greater dynamic range reduces to a clear whisper with minimal reed noise.
