FLAVORED SAXOPHONE REEDS BY FLAVOREEDS
About Flavoreeds and the Flavoreeds Company...
After eight years of research, the Flavoreeds Company perfected a method for coloring and flavoring a cane reed so that it was pleasant tasting and pleasant looking without changing the playing characteristics of a premium reed. Students will moisten a Flavoreed thoroughly because they have such a pleasant flavor. To play well, reeds do not have to taste bad.
Some Dealers have suggested that the reeds play so well because the flavoring and coloring actually fill the pores of the cane. Players get the same results when they rub the reeds with their fingers to remove air and moisture from the pores. Flavoreeds are manufactured from select French cane and are packaged in twinpaks for Clarinet and Alto Sax, and in tripaks for Tenor Sax. Available in ten different flavors and five strengths from 1.5 to 3.5, Flavoreeds are helping make music fun again.

Saxophone Flavoreeds FAQ's:
What are the most popular flavors?
Shortly after Flavoreeds introduced Blue Raspberry, they discovered that some of the blue was bleeding on the lips. They didn't want that so they stopped producing it. However, the demand was such that they had to bring it back. It became a best seller. It became "cool" to have slightly blue lips. All the red flavors are the next best sellers: Strawberry, Bubble Gum, Cherry Red, and Watermelon. Cinnamon, which does not have a color, is used by students of band directors who do not want a colored reed in the band. Mint Green and Piņa Colada are the more adult flavors. (There is no alcohol in any of the flavors.)
How long does the flavor last?
It is similar to chewing gum. The flavor gradually dissipates. If the student can't taste the flavor anymore, the band director will usually suggest that it's time to use a new reed.
Do Flavoreeds have sugar in them?
A small amount of sugar is used as a sweetener. The amount is so small that the amount a player would ingest in one year would be less than the amount of sugar contained in one bowl of corn flakes. All the ingredients used in flavoring Flavoreeds are natural food additives found in baked goods in any supermarket.
Will Flavoreeds harm the instrument?
Flavoreeds should be handled and treated like any other reeds. If the player swabs the instrument and washes the mouthpiece regularly, the instrument will smell clean and there will be no problems. Pads will stick if the instrument is not swabbed no matter what kind of reed is used.
How do Flavoreeds compare with other reeds?
Because Flavoreeds are especially attractive to students and priced competitively, the assumption is that Flavoreeds are student level reeds. The fact is that Flavoreeds are premium quality reeds.
How can the life of a Flavoreed be prolonged?
Rotate the reeds so that there are two or three reeds that have been broken in and ready to play. When a reed is discarded, replace it with a new reed in rotation. Use a reed guard.
