GD reeds are made from a cane with a classic French Cut. they are made with a thicker blank and a larger diameter material than the standard clarinet reeds. This material are normally used in the manufacture of Alto saxophone reeds. This give a much deeper sound. They are the first Gonzalez reeds with a Filed Cut.

The reed has a longer scraping area and more wood in the heel, therefore is a more vibrant and lasting reed.
