Product Description

The universal reed, Vandoren Traditional Saxophone Reeds are widely used among professionals in all genres. This reed is designed to produce a quality of extremely pure sound due to a very thin reed tip (the area of reed with maximum vibration) and a solid vertebral column (more cane in the area which climbs gradually to the heel). These reeds are recognizable by a straight line to delineate the limit of the area of bark. The favorite reed of recognized saxophonists like Stan Getz, Lee Konitz and Marcel Mule, Vandoren Traditional Reeds have always been used with equal success by many players.

3.0 out of 5 stars Only 1 good one per box, February 11, 2009

These are great reeds with an amazing lifetime, but whenever i buy a box i only get like two good ones a box. that is to say, great sounding. If you are a beginning student this won't matter. but in high school, if i have to pay $26 for 2 reeds that i actually like...not so cool. These r great for marching though cause u can beat them up cause the bad ones dont sound good to begin with

I just started learning the alto sax and figured I try a #3 reed, but found out that the #2 or #2.5 is better for a beginner.

The product was fine it was really me.

These are recommended from the band director. They are much more expensive at our local music store. This is a great product and a great price on Amazon.
