Code: JT12
The Jeanne M tip for English horn is modeled after the shaper used by Marcel Tabuteau that was in the possession of John Mack. We made this tip at the request of Mr. Mack. A little wider that our Standard tip, the Jeanne-M produces a deep, rich sound yet still manages to perform well in the upper registers.

We publish these samplings of Jeanne shaper tip dimensions in response to requests from some of our customers, but with the following caveat: Comparisons of the relative widths of shaper tips are not necessarily predictive of how reeds made from them will perform. The performance characteristics of a shaper tip result from complex interactions of the many dimensions, and these interactions must be taken into account when designing the tip.
