In the early
1990's, after many months of intense development and testing of prototypes, the
original "Alexander Superial" was put into production.
 Our aim with this first model was to
design a reed which produced a warm, resonant "buzz", good projection, even
scale throughout the registers, and a wide dynamic range. In other words we
wanted this reed to provide a tonal platform that was free blowing, capable of
quick and accurate articulation, and one that gave immediate presence.
This was in line with the tonal concept of the "American" style single cut
reeds, but with more developed heart and rear vamp area, one with "spring" and
natural resilience needed to produce a really big sound.
We ran an
extensive testing program with various professionals and we were also fortunate
enough to have the valuable feedback from the renowned veteran mouthpiece maker
Ralph Morgan, his excellent crew and others.
After all our testing
confirmed the good results of the final prototype, we believed we had finally
come up with a reed worthy of manufacture.
The combination of a new
design influenced by traditional reed making concepts (and therefore in essence
"time proven"), and the highest grade of cane we could find, became born as the
original Alexander Superial with its yellow labeled tin. |
