Developed in 1983 for jazz and popular music. A thicker tip and a more flexible palette than the Traditional reed allow vibration over a larger surface area with maximum elasticity.
This type of vertebral column gives the musician much greater playing flexibility, as the resultant elasticity zone is very large. JAVA reeds are more flexible than Traditionals and V16s and vibrate on a long palette, creating a bright sound with immediate response.
Supplied in Box of 10
Vibrant and flexible tone
Suitable for Alto Sax

Great tone and projection from these reeds

yes a good product but hard to judge reed strength as vandoren usually thought to be slightly harder reeds and yet javas are softer so may have to order more to get exact reeds I need

These reeds were recommended to me by a dance band leader (sax player). I have been so grateful for his advice. I would not buy any other reed than Java. Great sound, easy to play and excellent longevity.
