Description
The driving force behind the JAVA 'Filed - Red Cut' design was to offer more sonic possibilites to musicians while keeping the qualities of the original JAVA. More flexible than its elder version, with a little more tonal body, the JAVA 'Filed - Red Cut' offers a full, rich centered sound and excellent projection with an extremely precise attack.

Clear Playing, Smooth Sound
Size: Strength 3
Pattern: Tenor
I was using a 2 1/2, and decided to go back up to three after many years. I don’t think I was able to play with a three properly years ago, but I am much better now, and this is the upgrade I needed. 2 1/2 is easy to play to start, but, the Reeds get too soft after a while and when I’m trying to hit a high note, I’ll get stuffed, and the note won’t even play on the first attack. Now, I don’t get stuffed at all every time I go to hit a note it comes out. Part of that is the person and their mouth position, but this was beyond technique, And using a three proves it

Much Better Quality
Size: Strength 3
Pattern: Tenor
I have had Rico Royals for about 4 years since I started playing the saxophone. They were good for getting me started but after that, they restricted my ability to play better. I had practiced overtones for quite a while (a while= 2-3 months) and I still couldn't hit altissimo notes with the Ricos. I was a little frustrated so I decided to buy from a better reed brand. On my old Rico Metallite M5 and Runyon Quantum 9, it was easy to hit altissimo notes (up to F, and with more practice double C's). It also subtones easily. The sound was fairly bright when combined with these mouthpieces, which recently I've come to dislike (because of combination, not because of the reed). I switched to a Vandoren traditionals (blue box), but it just wasn't the same... I switched back to these JAVAs! Currently, I'm using a Phil Barone Soundmaster 7* on a Phil Barone Vintage tenor (a LOVELY horn, by the way). I like the setup; it's pretty dark, but with the JAVAs it still has noticeable hints of brightness and the reed is very responsive and does what I want it to do. It's also pretty easy to produce a note, rather than being that "stiff" reed that has a lot of resistance.

Feels super good!
Size: Strength 3
Pattern: Tenor
This type of reed feels way better than Rico or Juno, I've gotten the black vandorion reeds and now I'm trying out these red ones, I think they are worth the money if you care about the quality of sound and how it feels when you play. Instead of wetting them with saliva I've been soaking them in water for about 30 seconds to make them last longer and they definitely sound better ever since I've started doing that.

Great, but buy local
Size: Strength 3
Pattern: Tenor
Great for R&B, funk, and hitting those Altissimo notes. But buy from a local Music store if you can because music stores may disappear if you don’t.

Consistently, almost all the box are FAVORITE reeds.
Size: Strength 3
Pattern: Tenor
My kid (the one using these reeds) has been playing Alto and Tenor sax for 5 years now. This includes marching band, concert band, jazz band, region band, and all-state bands. I'm also a musician, but not a reed player. We've tried the Vandoren blue box (regular ones), green box and now this red box. These red box reeds are consistently better. Usually, you get a box of 5 where 1 or 2 are GREAT keepers and the others are just okay. She has found that the red box provides about 4 GREAT reeds and one okay reed. So, I'd say it's a better value for your dollar. However, if you have a beginner sax player, please don't waste your money on these reeds. Your musician won't really notice the difference, before they mishandle and crack the reeds (which is why I give it one star for beginners). Not that the reeds are bad for beginners. They're just unnecessary.

I do really like...
Size: Strength 3
Pattern: Tenor
I get pretty good results from these reeds. Using the 3 strength on a Jody Jazz DVNY 7*. Playing a wide variety but 75% of the time I'm playing early punk, experimental rock and blues/rock tunes. I will open and playtest all 5 reeds in a box and usually get 1-2 that are standout players. These will last me anywhere from 3-6 weeks each. I never even take them off the mouthpiece until they are ready to be thrown away. By this time I can cycle through the rest of the reeds in the box. I end up with about 1-2 that are completely useless (reeds are like that unfortunately) but with some love and break-in the rest of the box will play as well as the first two reeds did. I play experimental/rock (think Stooges and T. Rex), deep house, reggae and of course jazz. I get a lot of versatility from the mouthpiece and reed combination. I can blow, blow, blow for the rock and house stuff, or get sexy, growly and smooth a la Stan Getz depending on my attack and air. This is probably more of a feature of the moutpiece. But the reeds last a long time. Some of them may seem "blatty" but they just need to really get the fibers stretched out and worn in. The "blatty" reeds last the longest and sound the best IMO, once they break in. When I was using blue box filed Vandoren (same strength), on the contrary, the "blatty" reeds stayed stuffy and generally "flat"/"dead" and never would really "wake up" like the red Javas do. Reeds never lasted this long with a metal mouthpiece but I find them to be a great value, great sound, and a lot of fun to play in general. But then again, a reed is just a reed...
