César Vidal proudly plays Gonzalez Reeds, an Argentine reed maker from Mendoza known for its careful cane selection, precise craftsmanship and warm, reliable response.

Gonzalez Reeds supports César’s work as a saxophonist, improviser and composer. He has played their reeds for several years, and among their different cuts, Local Jazz 627 and Malbec have become his preferred choices for alto saxophone.

“I’ve been playing Gonzalez Reeds for several years, and they have become a real part of my sound. The Local Jazz 627 and Malbec cuts give me a response I can trust: flexible enough for jazz, sensitive enough for experimental music, and stable in many different musical situations. I also value playing reeds made in Argentina, in Latin America. For me, their quality stands naturally beside the established reeds made in Europe and the U.S., while keeping a character and identity that feel very close to me.” — César Vidal
