Description

Developed in 1983 for jazz and popular music, the JAVA reed incorporates a thicker tip and a more flexible palette than the Tradational reed which allows the reed to vibrate over a larger surface area with maximum elasticity. This type of vertebral column gives the musician much greater playing flexibility, as the resultant elesticity zone is very large. The palette is the zone where the air waves are propgated with the greatest range. From the tip, the waves are absorbed firther in the JAVA reed.

Size: Strength 3 Pattern: Reeds
Excellent reeds for both alto and tenor saxophones. They produce a rich, warm tone with great response across all registers, making them ideal for beginners and advanced players alike. Very consistent quality, and each reed feels well-made and durable. A reliable choice for everyday practice and performance. ... show more

    • Great reed for sax players
Size: Strength 3 Pattern: Reeds
My so plays the Tenor sax and this is the reed that is the “go to” each box has consistent quality and longevity of reeds. They are a bit on the procey side, but TOTALLY worth the investment.

    • Consistently great sound -- my new reed of choice
Size: Strength 3 Pattern: Reeds
I played tenor 35 years ago and swore by Rico Royal reeds. When I took it up again a couple years ago the sax I bought came with some old Rico Royals. They were just like I remembered, but I bought a box of new ones and they were uniformly disappointing. A sax player friend (who hadn't taken a 35-year hiatus) confirmed that their quality had suffered over the years. So I tried a Vandoren sample pack. I loved the Red Java reed, which had a rich & lively sound, but bought a box and none of them lived up to the promise of that first reed. I also liked the Green Java sample reed -- a little more mellow than the Red -- and tried a box of those. This time every reed in the box sounded great. And now I just upgraded from 2.5 to 3 and every reed in that box sounds even better, so I've found my new reed of choice. ... show more

    • The Best Jazz Reeds...
Size: Strength 3 Pattern: Reeds
Vandoren Java reeds are simply the best reeds for playing jazz and rock music. They have a very versatile tone, can be easily adjusted with a reed rush or reed trimmer, and last for 3-4 weeks! I use them with an Otto Link NY metal mouthpiece, and I get a sound that can easily "cut through" while still retaining "fatness" and "buzziness", both key elements to developing a jazz sound. ... show more

    • Jazzy, when you're not playing in school
Size: Strength 3 Pattern: Reeds
I bought this for my teenager. He tells me that it sounds a little louder and it sounds jazzy. To my ears, it sounds smoother and more mellow. I'm not saying that they sound better or worse, just maybe easier on my ears. His siblings could not tell a difference. Anyway, here's the final verdict from my son: "Dad, they sound waaaaaaay better than the Classic Vandoren reeds! Thanks!" I read that these reeds are not recommended for classical stuff. If the music directors at his public school find out that he switched to a jazz reed, they may force him to switch back to a standard reed. IF they find out... ;-) Update 1/25/13: The band director told me that he's not allowed to play this Jazz reed in school. Only Classic reeds are allowed. :-( ... show more
