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.

6 month Ambipoly Reed Life Time Guarantee
One Ambipoly reed is all it takes to play with confidence and be worry-free for 6 months!
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.
