The sound reduction effect is enhanced by a structure that allows air to escape moderately through the slits and by reducing the area of the vibrating tip. The material used is a resin that meets food safety standards. ■How to choose the best lead■ Air-Thru Reeds come in two cuts, Classical and Jazz, each with a variety of thicknesses.
