Vivace is the perfect reed choice for players already comfortable playing a synthetic reed. Vivace is ideal for the soloist, orchestral or jazz player because it produces quick response with minimal effort. This reed is full of a vibrant, colorful sonority with less “cover” resulting in a more direct, clear and up-front sound.
Vivace plays with an equal projection to other reeds but also with a larger volume. Importantly, Vivace has a depth and complexity of tonal colors that affords the clarinetist interesting timbral choices.
The altissimo has been re-engineered, up to fourth-octave altissimo C, and competes with any reed on the market for clarity, response and intonation. With a high degree of flexibility, Vivace will respond in a robust manner to increases of intensity. Similarly, the reed’s greater dynamic range reduces to a clear whisper with minimal reed noise.

This is the reed I’ve always wanted, but didn’t think existed. I’ve been playing it for a few days, and am very pleased with the consistency of volume produced and embouchure required to play in all registers. I’ve been using mostly Vandoren V12 cane reeds, and have also tried Vandoren VK1 synthetic (a little hard to play) and Yamaha synthetic reeds (easy to play, but slightly plastic sound).
This Silversteirn Ambipoly Vivace seems ideal, but now I’m curious about the Maesta and Primo reeds, and will try them too.

he reeds are great. The sound is wonderful and it feels consistent across all registers. One reed did come chipped, but the others have been great.

I was becoming disenchanted with the Legere European Cut clarinet reeds, because they seem to have lost their claim to consistency. The Ambipoly 3 is a more resistant blow compared to the Legere 3, but in the highest register, the high C,D,E are easier to sound on the Ambipoly 3, and I think sound superior. I have an older Ambipoly 2.5+ but although it’s easier to blow, it’s harder to have consistent solid high register notes. It would be great to have something in between.
