Bari Tenor Sax Plastic Reed

Clear plastic reed that is stable, consistent, and long lasting in any weather. Available in strengths Soft, Medium and Hard. One reed per package.

The Vandoren Java Red reeds are designed to offer more sound possibilities while keeping the quality of sound the Java reeds produce. This filed Java reed produces a sound that is more flexible than the standard Java offering a full, rich, centered sound that produces excellent projection and precise attack.

The favorite reed of classic saxophonists worldwide since Marcel MULE, it has always been (and is still) used with equal success by many players. 

Unprecedented Tone, Flexibility and Response.

The D'Addario Select Jazz cut features a strong, well-defined heart and longer vamp, yielding unprecedented projection and a clear, fat tone, with unsurpassed flexibility and lightning-fast response. Available with or without a French file. The file is the area behind the vamp where the bark is sanded off in a straight line. It provides freedom of response, especially in the low register, making soft attacks and subtones easier. The file also makes the tone slightly brighter.

Features Include:

* Huge sound with powerful projection 

* Select grade cane for unsurpassed durability & longevity 

* Outstanding clarity, control and projection 

* Precise third strength grading provides unparalleled consistency 

* Optimized for contemporary and traditional jazz mouthpieces

Phil WOODS: 

Nelson Hill gave me a Vandoren V16! He said, Try it, you'll like it. I tried it. I like it! Eureka! At last, a sensible reed! They feel good and the percentage of usable reeds is incredible. Somebody is paying attention and I sleep a little better knowing that! The base is thicker giving my old, stretched ligature a better grip and the intonation, always a Vandoren tradition, remains true and spot on!
