Please switch to our service! Despite my love for Vandoren reeds, I believe fear can slow You can switch to red File Cut instead of the Vandoren classic blue
5/5

There is a vibrancy to this reed that the classic simply cannot duplicate. You will travel into other dimensions when you listen to the Using a reed is a bit like holding a balloon. It twists and turns with your mouth and the music, but it is still extremely simple. Veteran saxophonists will be thrilled to hear of this change and be glad to graduate. The novice should not try this. I am quite.

The reeds in almost all of the boxes are our favorites
5/5

Five years ago my kid (the one using these reeds) was just learning Alto and Tenor Sax. There is a marching band, a concert band, a jazz band, a region band, and an all-region band. There is a band for each state. Additionally, I am a musician, but I do not play reeds. So far, we have tried the Blue Vandoren box (consistent with the regular ones), the Green Vandoren box, and the Red Vandoren There is a consistent difference between the red box and blue box reeds. It is common to get a box of five, where 1 or 2 of them stand out as great keeps and the other four Having found that the red box provided about four GREAT reeds and one okay reed, she has been using it since it arrived. As a result, I would say it's a better bargain for your money. Beginners will not hear the difference, since they are likely to mishandle and crack the reeds (which is why I give this product one star). There are just too many of them.

I love the sound of your breath
5/5

The greatest thing about jazz is the blues, but I also like funk and blues. Your sound will have a delicate resonant breathy timbre with a sweet warming tone. Also, these reeds make it easier for me to hit the dreaded low B flat note. Usually I play till my lips are numb and then my friends ask "have you been drinking?"? My response is, "You've been blowing, and they raise their eyebrows and then laugh at me. Despite an arousing product and outstanding Weiner music, our thumbs up goes to the producer.

I would like to work for you
5/5

Different reeds suit different mouthpieces and horns and, of course, different reeds suit different people. A replica of the Florida style mouthpiece from Link with a facing somewhere between 5 and 6 inches is what I use with the Java Red #2 on the King Zephyr. The following are the answers to the questions In the relative close range. My instrument of choice is a Buescher Truetone with an open mouthpiece paired with the Java Red #2 1/2. The mpcs have a big bore and a high baffle (different vintage models. It has been written that the difference between the Reds and the Greens lies in their filing system. The wood on the vamps needs to be filed and I still have a box of Greens handy. As a result, I've tried half a dozen artificial and natural methods I have tried a few coated reeds, but only like the one from Bari for tenor sax, which I use on my alto clarinet where no other natural reed is as good as it. The irony is not lost on me. They have been consistent enough for me to give them five stars.

The first thing I do Please provide Reed with the following information
5/5

Taking a close look at various reeds, I've concluded that the Vandoren brand produces the most consistent cut when compared with other french cut/filed products. My reed of choice is a thick one (Java Red 4) because I enjoy an airy sound. When I play with small jazz groups (maximum 5 musicians) for weddings, festivals, and corporate functions, these reeds not only help me achieve a stronger tone, but they also allow me to project my presence more confidently. When I play in big bands, as I do occasionally, I use a thinner Java Red 3. They also offer a blue box which I recommend, although I personally prefer the red javas.

There's something I really like about this
4/5

The results I obtain from these reeds are pretty good. We are using a Jody Jazz DVNY 7* at the strength of 3. Although I play a wide variety, I tend to play early punk, experimental rock, and blues/rock tunes most of the time. Typically I will open a box of reeds and playtest all five reeds one by one, and I will get one or two back There are two players who stand out. Depending on how much I buy, these will last anywhere from three to five years A six-week period is included in each event. Once I have been able to inhale them for a while, I take them off the mouthpiece.

Now that I can cycle through the rest of the reeds in the box, I can complete the process. About 1 is left after I've done everything There are two weeds that are completely useless (because they're reeds) but can be revived with a little love and break-in As the rest of the box plays as well as the first two reeds did, so will the rest. My music ranges from experimental to rock There is Rex), deep house, reggae and jazz of course. With the combination of the mouthpiece and reed, I get a lot of versatility. It depends on my attack and my air if I want to blow, blow, blow for rock and house, or sexy, growly, smooth a la Stan Getz. There is probably no need to change the mouthpiece for this. Reeds, on the other hand, last a long time. They may seem a bit "blatty", but you just need to stretch the fibers out and run them through. When they have had time to break in, the "blatty" reeds last the longest and sound the most beautiful. When I was using blue box filed Vandoren (same strength), on the other hand, the "blatty" reeds stayed stuffy and generally "flat" and I never would really "wake up" as I would with red Javas. Although Reeds have never lasted this long with a metal mouthpiece, I find them to be a great value, to have good sound, and to be a lot of fun in general to play. Still, a reed is just a reed after all.

This is a full, rich, & warm flavor combination
5/5

My go-to Reed has always been on time and in tact, therefore I am simply giving them five stars because they are my go-to Reed manufacturer. It is intuitively obvious that reed choices are unique to each player and are dependent on personal preferences. It would therefore be nonsensical to rate them honestly. It's not that reeds that don't work for an individual are bad, it's that they aren't the right fit for him or her. R&R is a great game if you enjoy it When you play B and Soul like I do, then you'll want to check out these reeds at the reed strength you prefer. For years, these have been a part of my setup.

It is up to each individual to make his or her own choice
5/5

The following are the three main reasons to get such reeds There are three reasons for this *1) They're comfortable
2) They're different
3) They're effective. You can refer to the pdf Vandoren Catalog online and understand everything else. What you decide to do is up to you. I had no issue with email hanging up.
