Description
The reed choice of many jazz and pop musicians for the last 40 years!
Designed in 1983 for JAzz & VAriety. Compared to Vandoren Traditionals, Java reeds have a thicker tip, but a thinner heart. This gives you a crisp and punchy articulation, with a bright tone. The Java green reed is by far the brightest and snappiest reed Vandoren have to offer, making this reed perfect for jazz, pop, rock and R&B!
If you like bright tone that can cut through, this could be the reed for you!
Staff Review
"Bright & with quick, snappy response plus great subtones, these are clearly aimed at players with a bright contemporary sound. Javas now come in 2 varieties; the original 'Green Box'& a new 'Red Box' version. Green Javas are a slightly thinner, more sensitive reed- good for acoustic gigs and studio work- whereas the Reds have a bigger tone and more power making them ideal for projection in louder situations- big bands etc" - Julian Lawrence (jules@sax.co.uk)
