P. Mauriat Chooses Forestone Reeds For U.S. Outfits

March 20th 2014

ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI – P. Mauriat is excited to announce a new partnership with Forestone Reeds.  The collaboration will add yet another quality component to P. Mauriat saxophone outfits:  A Forestone Black Bamboo reed.

“We’re proud to offer our consumers this excellent reed,” says Craig Denny, Vice President – Band at St. Louis Music.  “Forestone makes great products but the Black Bamboo reeds represent a leap in playability and value. These reeds are a perfect match for P. Mauriat saxophones and we are thrilled to partner with Forestone on this new venture.”

Forestone’s Black Bamboo reed is known for its durability and its resistance to the influences of temperature and dehydration.  The reed contains a combination of bamboo fiber and a special carbon mixture that increases balance and projection. Beginning April 1st, every P. Mauriat soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophone will ship to dealers with a strength 3 Black Bamboo reed included in its outfit (MSRP: $30.95).

Forestone Black Bamboo Reeds and P. Mauriat Saxophones and Trumpets are distributed exclusively by St. Louis Music. To become a P. Mauriat dealer or experience the Forestone Black Bamboo Reeds please contact [email protected] or call 800-727-4512.
