Vandoren JAVA Green Alto Saxophone Reed

JAVA reeds vibrate over a larger surface area than traditional reeds, with maximum elasticity

Created in 1983 for jazz and pop music. A thicker tip and more flexible blade* than traditional reeds allow it to vibrate over a larger surface area with maximum elasticity.

*Paddle: area where waves propagate with the greatest amplitude. Starting from the tip, the waves are damped further into the JAVA reed.
