Love these reeds

Love these reeds. Amazon, please continue to carry them.

These reeds have worked great for me on vintage horns
Size: Strength 2.5
Pattern: Tenor
I am on maybe my fifth box. Almost every reed has been usable right out of the packaging. These reeds have worked great for me on a 1927 Buescher True Tone with a vintage large chamber, medium open tip. Much better than the Java Green. I have had no success finding an artificial reed that gives me the same responsiveness and tone. I also have tried Rico and Marca (which is my first choice for clarinet.) Every mouth & mouthpiece is different and of course you probably use a different horn and want a different sound. edit: I'm now mostly playing a 1946 King Zephyr using a Theo Wanne Ambika 6* mouthpiece. ,I'm now using the Java Red 1 1/2 reeds. Generally I'll take a little reed off using 320 grit sandpaper -- just between 1cm and 2cm below the tip. In my fantasy world I sound somewhere between Ben Webster and Coleman Hawkins. I also am now storing the reeds in water in capped test tubes. It means the reeds are totally soaked when I put them on -- no worries about warming up. I think I get an even mellower sound than with dry stored reeds. To avoid mold, I change the water twice a week and keep some silver beads in with the reeds. (All available on on Amazon.) . This does not work well for either soprano sax or clarinet. i have no theory why I like this for tenor and not for the other horns. I formerly got maybe 10 hours of play out of a reed. Now I'm getting better than 40. I'm happy with the Java reds and see no reason to try other reeds.

Wish I had tried these years ago
Size: Strength 2.5
Pattern: Tenor
Playing since 1986. For many years I would use synthetic reeds so that I wouldn’t have to deal with cane. I would especially find Vandoren blue box to be stuffy out of the box and would always need to work them with a reed knife. Decided to try again experimenting with my sound. The red box Java reeds are the first reeds that just feel right, straight out of the wrapper. I love playing jazz / worship music and improvising. These are very responsive and lets me get the sound I want, with more power than I was used to with my Legere synthetic. I also tried the green box Java - they are a close second but slightly more resistant and a bit darker/traditional sounding, which is nice to have handy too. I use 2 1/2 strength reeds with Jody Jazz DV size 7 metal mouthpiece. I play slightly edgy with lots of air and dynamics so I prefer a brighter more aggressive tone that I can control well. I think the Java red box reeds will keep me happy for a while.

Amazing reeds
Size: Strength 2.5
Pattern: Tenor
I started using these exclusively for marching band, but they work in a lot of ways if you learn to control them. The thin tip and strong spine allows them to be seriously free blowing, while allowing you to be precise and control your sound. Don't get me wrong, they can take some getting used to after playing other reeds, but after a while, they feel amazing. Since they're thinner than others, they can wear out pretty quick, especially after using them for extending periods throughout practice. If your reeds "die", you can give them a bath in water mixed with hydrogen peroxide, scrub any scum off of them, and dry them off. This process revived my week+ old reeds, brought them to playing brand new. Overall, these are the best reeds I have personally ever played on. Definitely worth the money.

My son hasn’t complained so I want to say I think they’re good. He plays several win instruments and needed these for his tenor sax.

An ok reed but the V16's suit my sound concept better.

It’s wonderful
Size: Strength 2.5
Pattern: Tenor
The Red Java Vandoren reeds are just wonderful. My daughter has the V16 metal mouthpiece and she had a 3 reed and it was green Java but it just sounded airy. Now don’t get me wrong they are both wonderful but the way the red Java sounds and plays on this is just amazing. Also on that type of mouthpiece you need more of thinner reed so we went down to a 2.5 but between all of the other reeds the red had the most amazing sound!
