About this item

  • SYNTHETIC REEDS: VENN is back and better than ever. Introducing Generation 2 of our groundbreaking synthetic reed.
  • FLEXIBILITY: Unique layering of polymer fibers give VENN natural flexibility, for response and articulation similar to a cane reed.
  • RESISTANT TO ELEMENTS: Combined with resin making VENN resistant to adverse elements and stresses that quickly break down natural cane reeds.
  • WARM & RICH SOUND: Natural cane particles allow VENN to mimic cane, giving a warmer and richer sound.
  • FIND YOUR STRENGTH - Didn’t find the perfect strength of VENN? D’Addario Woodwinds will ship you a FREE alternate strength of VENN with your proof of purchase through the VENN Alternate Strength Program.


D'Addario VENN Generation 2: an advanced synthetic reed constructed of polymer fibers, resin, and natural cane elements. Designed to give players the benefits of synthetic reeds without compromising on the sound and playability of cane reeds. Developed by the industry’s most revered engineers, VENN signals a whole new era in woodwinds innovation: combining the stability and longevity of a synthetic reed with the sound and feel of natural cane. To mimic the organic structure of cane, we reverse-engineered cane itself, layering different strengths of polymer fibers with resin and natural reed elements to make up the reed blank. The result? VENN outlasts and outperforms anything else like it – all while sounding and playing like your favorite cane reed.

It was opened and original box/packaging gone. I don't think it's even legal to sell a reed like this once it's been opened.

The best synthetic reed out there! However go for the lightest strength.

Pretty great sound. Consistent and great for different environments etc…. The tip seems even more frail than a normal reed. I expected it to last for longer than a week tour.

Ero molto restio nei confronti delle ance sintetiche, ma dopo avere provato queste, mi sono dovuto ricredere. Il suono non é per niente "plasticoso", tende piuttosto ad essere un poco scuro. Per chi ascolta, la differenza dalle ance in canna è abbastanza ridotta, a volte addirittura difficile da distinguere (molto dipende anche dal bocchino e dall'impostazione). La differenza per chi suona però è molto evidente. Sono sempre molto pronte nella risposta e molto uniformi in tutta l'estensione. Eccellenti nella dinamica.Da considerare che risultano un poco più dure rispetto alle corrispettive in canna con la stessa misura. Consiglio l'acquisto di questa ancia.

Exactly like a great cane Reed. I chipped it pretty aggressively by accident, but it is very sturdy. I’m in a band camp and we set our saxes down, but my Reed scraped against the cushion of the auditorium chair. Great product, I’m ordering another, hopefully I don’t do something stupid again

this is a great addition to the world of sax synthetic reeds. The response is immediate and I look forward to testing the longevity of this one!

En roseau, je suis un fan d'Addario, mais la anche synthétique n'est pas la meilleure. Clairement inférieure aux Legere. Son moins chaud et le grave ne passe pas facilement. La force 2 équivaut à du 2,5 en roseau dans la même marque. Reste un substitut acceptable cependant.

Usually use a 1.5 fibercell but this 2 was too hard.

My first reed arrived damaged. An email to D'Addario had it all sorted by the end of that day. Really efficient.I come back to use the reed and it is always the same, time after time.

This reed is expensive and the expectation would be for a great playing experience. Sorry, it misses the mark. It is a great looking synthetic reed but plays thin and somewhat “chirpy” for me in the upper register. I’ve been using Legere for at least 6 years and the VENN just doesn’t measure up in comparison, especially when costing more!
