Because it’s not plastic and it’s not cane. It’s the most highly developed composite structure ever engineered for woodwinds!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFibracell studied natural cane reed material under a microscope and used the most advanced fibers and composites from the aerospace industry to exactly duplicate the properties of natural cane reed material. Very stiff but sound absorbing Kevlar fibers are suspended in a lightweight resin formulation. It took the inventor, David W. Shaffer, over a decade of research to get the numbers of fibers, spacing, density of matrix, position of voids and other variables just right, but it was worth it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFibracell is manufactured to exacting production standards and is precisely machined and trimmed for a consistently perfect shape. Experts in the fields of both music and manufacturing Fibracell have spent many years perfecting the formulas and processes used to make Fibracell reed material and to shape it into reeds that play the way musicians have always wanted but only rarely found in natural cane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, Fibracell is the epitome of consistency and quality. To the musician, that means a reed that won’t let you down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat Is A Fibracell Reed?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe same “woody” tone as cane but with better sound projection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA reed that is great for doublers because it does not require soaking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA reed that is playable in all weather conditions, not affected by heat or humidity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA reed that does not swell, warp or soften when wet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA reed that lasts up to six times longer than cane with no unplayable reeds, making it less expensive to use than cane.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick response for better articulation, excellent pitch stability and intonation in all ranges, even for the clarinet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrilliant overtones for a full, vibrant, resonant tone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA reed with the same weight and stiffness as cane – cane floats and so does Fibracell (try that with a plastic reed!)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA reed that keeps its shape and retains resiliency longer than cane.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutstanding durability, due to a bonded film on the bottom that helps resist tip splitting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA product that is made in the USA, by a former music educator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Fibracell\u003cbr\u003eModel: FITS40\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I230281-N-0-WHXB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
