Excellence, innovation, essentiality, inimitability, made in Italy: this is what qualifies BlueStar® reeds. Top of the range, very high acoustic potential. The new reeds combine the original craft tradition of the A mano (handmade) reed with innovation; sophisticated essentiality with the highest quality of acoustic flavour; intensity with expressiveness; ductile dynamics with timbre definition and harmonic equilibrium. Finest overall timbre and functional coherence. Reliable, durable. Inimitable, thanks to its unique and peculiar structural properties, oriented towards fullness and perfection.
General characteristics:
Top of the range reed for the most demanding professional and amateur uses. Intensity, acoustic flavour, great stability in the wide dynamic range, versatility and overall timbre consistency. High fatigue strenght and oxidation resistance. To ensure the full expression of the the very high acoustic potential of the reeds, the accordion must be provided with the right conditions, starting from the correct adaptation of the reed block airflow to the reeds.
Timbre:
Classic, concert style, with an intense, rich, luminous, defined, balanced, full flavour, proper to the note pitch, finely balanced in the overall timbre consistency across different octaves.
Crafting process:
All the production phases of the reed parts, tongue and plate, are performed and monitored with particular care; the same occurs in the high craftsmanship assembly phases, to optimise the functional and acoustic performance of the finished reed. Finishing is plain; the aspects regarding the sound potential are managed with painstaking attention to detail. Thermal bluing process, a traditional technique used in high-end watchmaking, gives the reed its blue colour and superior functional properties. A beautiful shape leads to a beautiful sound: the essence of the BlueStar sound principle lies in this subtle, yet powerful energy unit.
