Woodwind Designer
Rheuben along with Bob Malone developed and designed the Inter-Change-A-Bore clarinet barrel. It's unique design and use of bronze in the barrel bore gives it the fastest response of any clarinet barrel on the market. The barrel has a very balanced tone color and great intonation.
Rheuben has now turned his focus to the design and manufacturing of new woodwinds & accessories. The first is the design of the new Kenny G line of saxophones. Along with Kenny Rheuben has developed a unique line of saxophones including the new
G-Series and the E-Series Straight Soprano Saxophones.

These "Almost Keyless Saxophones" extend the Siguard Rascher keyless saxophone concept to the next level.
These saxophones are available in straight soprano, alto, tenor and a Low A baritone.
