    • Amazing reeds
Size: Strength 2.5 Pattern: Tenor
I started using these exclusively for marching band, but they work in a lot of ways if you learn to control them. The thin tip and strong spine allows them to be seriously free blowing, while allowing you to be precise and control your sound. Don't get me wrong, they can take some getting used to after playing other reeds, but after a while, they feel amazing. Since they're thinner than others, they can wear out pretty quick, especially after using them for extending periods throughout practice. If your reeds "die", you can give them a bath in water mixed with hydrogen peroxide, scrub any scum off of them, and dry them off. This process revived my week+ old reeds, brought them to playing brand new. Overall, these are the best reeds I have personally ever played on. Definitely worth the money. ... show more

    • Feels super good!
Size: Strength 3 Pattern: Tenor
This type of reed feels way better than Rico or Juno, I've gotten the black vandorion reeds and now I'm trying out these red ones, I think they are worth the money if you care about the quality of sound and how it feels when you play. Instead of wetting them with saliva I've been soaking them in water for about 30 seconds to make them last longer and they definitely sound better ever since I've started doing that. ... show more

    • I do really like...
Size: Strength 3 Pattern: Tenor
I get pretty good results from these reeds. Using the 3 strength on a Jody Jazz DVNY 7*. Playing a wide variety but 75% of the time I'm playing early punk, experimental rock and blues/rock tunes. I will open and playtest all 5 reeds in a box and usually get 1-2 that are standout players. These will last me anywhere from 3-6 weeks each. I never even take them off the mouthpiece until they are ready to be thrown away. By this time I can cycle through the rest of the reeds in the box. I end up with about 1-2 that are completely useless (reeds are like that unfortunately) but with some love and break-in the rest of the box will play as well as the first two reeds did. I play experimental/rock (think Stooges and T. Rex), deep house, reggae and of course jazz. I get a lot of versatility from the mouthpiece and reed combination. I can blow, blow, blow for the rock and house stuff, or get sexy, growly and smooth a la Stan Getz depending on my attack and air. This is probably more of a feature of the moutpiece. But the reeds last a long time. Some of them may seem "blatty" but they just need to really get the fibers stretched out and worn in. The "blatty" reeds last the longest and sound the best IMO, once they break in. When I was using blue box filed Vandoren (same strength), on the contrary, the "blatty" reeds stayed stuffy and generally "flat"/"dead" and never would really "wake up" like the red Javas do. Reeds never lasted this long with a metal mouthpiece but I find them to be a great value, great sound, and a lot of fun to play in general. But then again, a reed is just a reed... ... show more

    • Compared to green box
Size: Strength 3.5 Pattern: Tenor
The Java reeds in the red box have a French cut. For me the result, compared to the green box, is a tone that is a little brighter and edgier.

    • It’s wonderful
Size: Strength 2.5 Pattern: Tenor
The Red Java Vandoren reeds are just wonderful. My daughter has the V16 metal mouthpiece and she had a 3 reed and it was green Java but it just sounded airy. Now don’t get me wrong they are both wonderful but the way the red Java sounds and plays on this is just amazing. Also on that type of mouthpiece you need more of thinner reed so we went down to a 2.5 but between all of the other reeds the red had the most amazing sound! ... show more

    • Wish I had tried these years ago
Size: Strength 2.5 Pattern: Tenor
Playing since 1986. For many years I would use synthetic reeds so that I wouldn’t have to deal with cane. I would especially find Vandoren blue box to be stuffy out of the box and would always need to work them with a reed knife. Decided to try again experimenting with my sound. The red box Java reeds are the first reeds that just feel right, straight out of the wrapper. I love playing jazz / worship music and improvising. These are very responsive and lets me get the sound I want, with more power than I was used to with my Legere synthetic. I also tried the green box Java - they are a close second but slightly more resistant and a bit darker/traditional sounding, which is nice to have handy too. I use 2 1/2 strength reeds with Jody Jazz DV size 7 metal mouthpiece. I play slightly edgy with lots of air and dynamics so I prefer a brighter more aggressive tone that I can control well. I think the Java red box reeds will keep me happy for a while. ... show more
