Vandoren Tenor Saxophone Reeds Java Red

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.

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! 

These plastic reeds will out last any cane reed on the market. Designed with a strong spine to offer greater projection and a brighter sound. Perfect for jazz ensemble, marching bands, or anytime you really need to be heard. Made from an opaque plastic in Soft, Medium, and Hard strengths. One reed per package.
