Features 4

  • Traditional reeds are known for their excellent response in all registers, allowing a pianissimo attack in even highest notes.
  • Extremely flexible, allowing the legato or staccato execution of large intervals while maintaining a richness of tone that gives body and clarity to the sound, which is a hallmark of Vandoren reeds.
  • Traditional reeds are available for all clarinets and saxophones in various strengths.
  • Every reed sealed in 'Flow Pack' to ensure freshness.

Description

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), being balanced by 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 classic saxophonists worldwide since marcel Mule, it has always been (and is still) used with equal success by many players.

Worth the cost
Size: Strength 3 Pattern: Alto Saxophone Reeds
The quality of these reeds is great. They last long and don’t chip easily. My son says the quality of the sound that comes from his instrument is better because of these reeds.

I've used this brand for years
Size: Strength 3 Pattern: Alto Saxophone Reeds
I first started out on clarinet and played for 7 years using this brand. Now as a new saxophone player, I will continue to use this brand. Wooden reeds are a pain because they break, chip, and are inconsistent, but I've stuck with this brand because it is one of the cheapest and I can rely on at least half to 3/4 of the box to be good reeds. Longevity definitely depends on how well you take care of the reeds and how they play in the first place. I admit, there is usually a reed in each pack I can tell will underperform even after breaking it in, but I just use those during marching band when you're sound isn't as good anyways ... show more

The Standard
I am a saxophonist studying music in college, so I demand performance and good consistency from my reeds. I have spent the past two or three years switching around cuts, brands, and makes; anything from the Traditional to V12s to the Rico Reserves and now the Reserve Classics. I can say that I always fall back on the Vandoren Traditional 3 strength, paired with my AL3 mouthpiece and Optimum ligature, all on a Selmer Series II alto. I find that this setup provides a good compromise between flexibility, a classical tone color, and balanced resistance fulcrum. I highly recommend this setup for aspiring classical players. Vandoren generally uses good cane that lasts, but you need to take care of the reeds. I have found that the main drawback of their reeds is lack of hardiness when considering humidity changes. A big humidity change can render these reeds unplayable. My recommendation is to buy a decent-quality cigar humidor box and store the reeds at about 80%. When stored in this way, the reeds last longer, set into consistency faster, and generally play as soon as I take them out of my humidor, no fiddling required. I usually keep the reeds in their plastic sleeve, however I am experimenting with keeping them in the purple Vandoren reed case, storing 4 reeds on a flat surface. I'm finding good success with that. So in conclusion, Vandoren offers a good product but no reed will play itself. Try keeping it in a humidity controlled storage and experiment with how they are dried. I have complete confidence in these reeds, from symphonic situations to soloist situations. I'll be competing with the Debussy "Rapsodie" on them later this month. My opinion also covers the soprano, tenor, and baritone versions as well. Most importantly, please consider my storage advice, it could change your life. Thank you for reading! ... show more
