Thicker cane for a centered sound

Made from thick French cane with a heel taper similar to German-style reeds, the 56 Rue Lepic produces a rich, centered, and exceptionally pure sound. Its warm, natural tonal character is paired with stability and quick response across all registers.

Fine strength gradations

Smaller, more specific strength gradations contribute to the consistency of the 56 Rue Lepic range. Musicians describe these reeds as dynamic, consistent, and precise.
