## 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.

Review: Vandoren - 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.
Review: Great reed for sax players - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If I use a 3.5 on the Vandoren traditional reeds, should I use a 3.5 on these too?.**
A: No. The traditional reeds are harder than the javas. A 3.5 traditional is equivalent to a 4 java. However, make sure to purchase your feed according to your mouthpiece facing. Different mouthpieces need different reed strengths.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great reed for sax players

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Consistently great sound -- my new reed of choice
*by R***Y on June 21, 2018*

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.
