The Vandoren JAVA Red Alto Saxophone Reeds boast a filed-cut design that provides musicians more expressive possibilities. More flexible than the original JAVA reeds, the JAVA Red reeds produce a robust, centered tone with admirable projection and an extremely precise attack, ideal for jazz, contemporary and R&B styles.

Filed-Cut Design Offers Enhanced Flexibility and Tonal Richness

The driving force behind the innovative filed-cut design of the JAVA Red reeds was to provide musicians a wider range of tonal expression while maintaining the qualities of the original JAVA reeds. The filed-cut design gives the JAVA Red reeds more flexibility than their predecessor, resulting in a tone with more body and richness. The additional flexibility makes the reeds highly responsive, allowing musicians to articulate each note with clarity and precision.

Powerful, Centered Tone with Remarkable Projection

The JAVA Red reeds are engineered to produce a full, powerful tone that is firmly centered in the midrange. This robust tone cuts through an ensemble with ease, allowing the musician to be heard with projection that fills a concert hall. The solid, controlled tone of the JAVA Red reeds makes them well suited for soloing and lead playing in addition to section work.

Precise Response and Attack

In addition to a bold tone, the JAVA Red reeds provide an extremely precise response with fast, clean attacks. Notes speak rapidly and crisply, allowing for accurate articulation and control. The precise response of these reeds makes them a great choice for technically demanding styles like jazz and contemporary where precise timing and articulation are essential.

High Quality Reeds in a Pack of 10

The JAVA Red reeds are professional-grade reeds made from high-quality cane. They are sold in a pack of 10 reeds that are matched for strength and quality. The reeds come in a range of hardnesses from 2 to 5 to suit different playing styles and mouthpiece setups.
