Vandoren Java Saxophone Reed

  • 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

** pallet: zone where the waves are propagated with the greatest range. From the tip, the waves are absorbed further in the Java reed.
