Reed comparison chartProduct Specs
Java reeds were developed by Vandoren for jazz and commercial music.
A thicker extremity and a more flexible pallet* than the Traditional reed allow vibration over a larget 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.
*pallet: zone where the waves are propagated with the greatest range. From the tip, the waves are absorbed further in the Java reed.
Packet of 10 reeds
In order to keep your reed prices as cheap as possible, we re-package Vandoren reeds to fit the "large letter" postal size. Each reed is still individually sealed in its original packaging but you won’t receive an original sealed outer box. If you wish your reeds to come in the original sealed box (£2 surcharge), please phone one of our shops on 0333 344 0070. Orders of 2 or more boxes will be sent sealed in their original outer boxes.

If there are stairs leading to the front door of the delivery address, or you live in an apartment which is not on pavement level, it is your responsibility to arrange for transportation from the pavement level to the delivery address.
