Product Description

Java series saxophone reeds were developed by Vandoren in 1983 for jazz and commercial music. A thicker extremity and a more flexible pallet than the Traditional reed allow vibration over a larger surface area with maximum elasticity. This type of vertebral column gives the musician much greater playing flexibility as the resultant elasticity zone is very large. The JA stands for Jazz and the VA stands for Variety (entertainment music) and ...Vandoren!

This review is from: Vandoren Java Tenor Saxophone Reeds #2.5, Box of 5 (Electronics)

Love the reeds. I've tried Prestini, Rico, and another type of vandoren and on the advice of my instructor tried the Java tenor reeds. They work well (have a nice voice), and seem to hold up longer. Reeds come sealed and wrapped individually and have a reed holder for each. In terms of complaints, my first box of 5 only contained 4 reeds. Second issue is I'd like to be able to buy a box of 10 but apparently they don't come in that amount.
