Légère Reeds has introduced the French Cut, a highly refined, synthetic symphonic reed that gives players a richness and stability in tone without sacrificing to response. With a completely reimagined profile, the French Cut has been designed for a dark, centered tone that allows for a deep range of emotional expression. The reed is responsive but even, with the ideal amount of resistance. The French Cut is available for alto saxophone, tenor saxophone and B-flat clarinet.
Palmer has expanded its PWT series of universal 9-volt power supplies for guitar and bass effects on pedalboards. The new PWT 08 MK2 model offers a total output of 2,000 milliampere across eight outputs, each with an isolated transformer. With two of the outputs offering variable voltage switching, the PWT 08 MK2 ensures clean and quiet pedalboard operation, even when using power-hungry effects pedals.
