"Since beginning my journey as one of the first D'Addario Clinicians (2013–2016), I have been fascinated with the quality of D'Addario's reeds and commitment to excellence. During my training, as a clinician, I saw the machines that measure the balance of the reeds and mouthpieces. This understanding of integrity in manufacturing has deeply benefited my teaching as a professor. I'm able to help my students find the exact fit and enhance their skill in artistry. As a performer, I rely on Reserve Classic Reeds to give me the depth in musicality I strive for with the consistency that only D'Addario Reeds can boast."
