Vandoren Tenor Saxophone Traditional

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

• Thicker heel with longer palette for more vibration
• Deep, rich sound with body to the attack due to the thicker tip resulting in longer lasting reeds 
• Every reed sealed in 'Flow Pack' to ensure freshness.

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 extremely flexible reed is great for a funky jazz sound. The reed design allows for maximum flexibility.

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.
