Strength Comparison Chart

How do I properly use and care for my VENN reeds?

VENN is designed to work out of the box without the care and maintenance needed for cane reeds and is resistant to adverse environments. However, the tip of the reed is still delicate and should be carefully handled. To best protect VENN, we recommend storing it in a reed holder or case such as our RVCASE04 Multi-Reed Storage Case.

HOW DO VENN REED STRENGTHS COMPARE?

VENN reeds strengths are similar to the premium cane reed strengths you are familiar with (Reserve, Select Jazz, Vandoren). We highly recommend visiting the strength comparison charts
for your voice before choosing your VENN reed strength. Note that the range of resistance VENN features will change depending on the size of your mouthpiece model and tip opening, and the positioning of the tip of the VENN reed on the tip rail of your mouthpiece.

CAN THE VENN REEDS BE FILED, SANDED OR OTHERWISE MODIFIED?

We encourage you to experience VENN as designed before sanding or attempting modifications. However, VENN can successfully be sanded at the musician’s discretion. While typical cane reed modifications may be helpful for VENN, musicians should anticipate differences in how the reed responds to changes made by hand.
CAN VENN BE CLEANED AND DISINFECTED?
VENN reeds can be cleaned with appropriately diluted alcohol-based cleaners or mild soap and room-temperature water. They should be wiped from the heel towards the tip of the reed using a paper towel or non-abrasive cloth.
Although VENN reeds can be cleaned and disinfected, we recommend that players do not share reeds.
TIPS FOR REED SELECTION
VENN
does not soften over time like cane. We recommend trying the strength on the
comparison chart
and the next softest strength.
We recommend
VENN strength 2.0 or 2.5 for Jazz players who use "open" or more resistant mouthpiece facings.

A New Species Of Reed

Developed by the industry's most revered engineers, VENN signals a whole new era in woodwinds innovation: combining the stability and longevity of a synthetic reed with the sound and feel of natural cane. To mimic the organic structure of cane, we reverse-engineered cane itself, layering different strengths of polymer fibers with resin and organic reed elements to make up the reed blank. The result? VENN outlasts and outperforms anything else like it – all while sounding and playing like your favorite cane reed.

“I’m a cane user and didn't think I would ever find a synthetic to meet any of my needs. I’m a huge fan of this reed.”
