Keilwerth Alto Saxophone SX90 – Black Lacquer

A JAVA with even more wood. 

Thicker tip than the traditional Vandoren reeds and a longer cut. 

Sound: more brilliant, more percussive, particularly well adapted to all the new styles of music 

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! 

This ALL NEW JAZZ reed features a unique relationship between the heart of the reed, where the tone is produced, and the thickness of the tip, which is responsible for vibration. The result is a reed with extraordinary tone, with immediate response in a free-blowing manner  even in the altissimo range. 

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
