Malbec Tenor Saxophone Reeds

Gonzalez Reeds Malbec reeds for Tenor Saxophone are the latest evolution in our jazz reed lineup, inspired by the renowned Jazz Local 627 model. Like their predecessor, they deliver a bright, vibrant tone with excellent clarity and projection—perfect for the expressive demands of North American-style jazz.

What sets the Malbec apart is its Filed cut, adding extra flexibility and responsiveness that players will notice instantly. This enhanced design allows for greater control over phrasing, smoother articulation, and a wider palette of tonal colors.

Crafted from select, single-origin cane grown on our own plantations, each reed is precision-shaped to ensure consistent performance, dynamic range, and lasting quality. The Malbec combines the brilliance and projection of the Local 627 with the added freedom and nuance that only a filed cut can provide.
