Vandoren Alto Sax V16 Reeds Strength 3 Box of 10

The Vandoren V16 Alto Saxophone Reeds were created to meet the demands of modern jazz saxophonists seeking a reed that could keep up with contemporary playing styles. Made in France using the highest quality cane, V16 reeds have a thicker heart and longer palette than traditional jazz reeds, producing a resonant tone with outstanding projection and clarity. The thicker tip also provides exceptional control and responsiveness for intricate soloing and improvisation.

Four Strengths For Any Playing Style

V16 reeds are available in four strengths, from 1.5 to 4, allowing saxophonists to choose the perfect reed for their mouthpiece setup and playing style. The softer 1.5 to 2.5 strengths are ideal for jazz soloists seeking a warm, full tone with minimal resistance for fast fingering. The medium hard 3 to 4 strengths provide more focus and edge, suitable for lead players in big bands or funk and fusion saxophonists.
