The BARI Original is a one-piece synthetic Baritone Saxophone reed that plays the moment you put it on, with no soaking and no break-in.

It produces a focused, projecting tone and holds up gig after gig. Because the synthetic material does not absorb moisture, it will not warp or soften when temperature or humidity change, and one reed replaces a full box of cane.
