Silvertstein Alta Ambipoly Vivace clarinet reeds are 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.

The Alta Ambipoly Vivace clarinet reed 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, the Alta Ambipoly 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.
