To mimic the organic structure of cane, we reverse-engineered cane itself, layering di erent strengths of polymer fi bers with resin and organic reed elements to make up the reed blank. The result? VENN outlasts and out performs anything else like it—all while sounding and playing like your favorite cane reed.
