Product Description

A traditional reed's response in all ranges is well known, allowing the player to attack the highest notes with a pianissimo attack.

With its extremely flexible tone, the Vandoren reed can be played legato or staccato over large intervals, while maintaining a richness of tone and clarity of sound that is recognized as a hallmark of Vandoren.

Reeds of traditional design are available in a wide range of strengths for all clarinets and saxophones.

To ensure freshness, each reed is sealed in a 'Flow Pack'.

Selected User Reviews For Vandoren SR242 Bari Sax Traditional Reeds Strength 2; Box of 5

I used the money from my raise to pay I like these a lot

5/5

It's funny, my son now uses these reeds like I used to, and I have to listen to him do it. Throughout my childhood my parents always said that I would pay for my upbringing and now it's time for me to do so. When you are listening for an answer on jeopardy, you always hear the squeak of a new player. Now I know why that always happens. Our luck is that we can rewind and watch it As the mother of a child in band who has only been in it for a year, I am trying to figure out how much my parents paid for reeds when I was in band. Reeds aren't cheap, but at least these last longer.

There were no better reeds (strength - flexibility) For my first start, I will be using size 2

5/5

There were no better reeds (strength - flexibility) I need a baritone sax (size 2) for me to start playing. My main instrument is the clarinet and I knew I would need a softer reed to begin with. I prefer Vandoren.

Our family has had a few reeds from Amazon but this is the best quality for the price, so we keep buying it.

The price is very good

5/5

The value for money was good. It made all the difference to my son that he switched to these reeds for his instrument. This is definitely a high-quality product.

Sound quality is very good and the control is excellent

4/5

Reeds on any reed box are usually of variable quality. Vandoren, however, has provided me with better results so far. * Does produce a warm, classical tone. I always turn to reeds when I need them.

I like the price for reeds, but some of the pieces in the box don't come out right

5/5

Compared to buying these reeds from an actual music store, which may charge you $40 for the same box, this price is very affordable. The only downside to the product is that you will probably get at least one bad one, but that is not the fault of the manufacturer, so overall I would rate them a 5.

My taste is not mine

4/5

Having ordered a strength higher I should have ordered a strength lower as they are a little harder. As I play Rico royals 3, I bought a strength 3 vandoren, but should have received a strength This is a box of strength 5.

It is hard to believe that these are not the best reeds I have ever The ones offered to me by my school have been taken advantage of by me as a college player

5/5

These are a good buy and I'm glad I invested in them. The instrument responds so well to the piece and has a great mellow sound that can be used for classical soloing and concert band playing.
