Only selected cane from the finest growing regions in southern France — naturally aged for optimal vibration properties.
Every reed is handmade, inspected and finished in Freistadt, Austria — for the highest consistency.
Members of the Vienna Philharmonic, Vienna Symphony and international soloists play Pilgerstorfer.
The story of Pilgerstorfer began over 30 years ago with a simple vision: to create the finest clarinet reed possible.
Alexander Pilgerstorfer personally selects Arundo Donax cane from southern France. In his workshop in Freistadt, Upper Austria, each reed goes through a meticulous production process — from raw cane selection through cutting to final fine-tuning.
The result: reeds with exceptional response, warm tone and remarkable longevity.
