Description

Developed in 1983 for jazz and popular music, the JAVA reed incorporates a thicker tip and a more flexible palette than the Tradational reed which allows the reed to vibrate over a larger surface area with maximum elasticity. This type of vertebral column gives the musician much greater playing flexibility, as the resultant elesticity zone is very large. The palette is the zone where the air waves are propgated with the greatest range. From the tip, the waves are absorbed firther in the JAVA reed.

  • Great reed for sax players
Size: Strength 3 Pattern: Reeds
My so plays the Tenor sax and this is the reed that is the “go to” each box has consistent quality and longevity of reeds. They are a bit on the procey side, but TOTALLY worth the investment.

  • Best reeds money can buy
Size: Strength 2 Pattern: Reeds
These reeds are by far the best you can get for tenor for the price. Smooth sound and all individually packaged and sealed so there is no damage in the package before you get to play. Worth it and will buy again and again.

  • Love the Sound and Attack but Too Many DOA
Size: Strength 3 Pattern: Reeds
My go to for the gig tenor for its brightness and ability to get a cutting sound in a noisy club situation and a room where the sound is more dead. My issue is way too often I get samples that feel like Im playing a 2x4 and sound like I am playing through a pillow. I try to scrape and adjust and no-go. Been playing almost 5 0 yrs so I know dead reeds. Would hate to go to synthetic but reeds cost too much to may almost 30 bucks and get three good ones for a tenor. ... show more

  • Consistently great sound -- my new reed of choice
Size: Strength 3 Pattern: Reeds
I played tenor 35 years ago and swore by Rico Royal reeds. When I took it up again a couple years ago the sax I bought came with some old Rico Royals. They were just like I remembered, but I bought a box of new ones and they were uniformly disappointing. A sax player friend (who hadn't taken a 35-year hiatus) confirmed that their quality had suffered over the years. So I tried a Vandoren sample pack. I loved the Red Java reed, which had a rich & lively sound, but bought a box and none of them lived up to the promise of that first reed. I also liked the Green Java sample reed -- a little more mellow than the Red -- and tried a box of those. This time every reed in the box sounded great. And now I just upgraded from 2.5 to 3 and every reed in that box sounds even better, so I've found my new reed of choice. ... show more
