These blanks are NOT finished to be playable, allowing for the player to make adjustment that they feel necessary. The blanks are still meticulously formed and finished to be easy to use and to adjust however needed. These reeds can have the collar cut in and/or the tip clipped but are not play-tested before shipping. Please let me know your specifications!

The photos are provided to give examples of the variations. 

All reeds are shipped in durable plastic tubes that can be used for soaking. These tubes should not be used for storage of wet or moist reeds, as this will cause mold.
