Vandoren V16 Tenor Saxophone Reed

Launched in 1993 to answer the demand of some American jazz musicians (a Java with even more wood). The V16 has a thicker tip than the Traditional reed and a medium-thick heart. The profile of the reed is designed for producing a strong, percussive attack with a deep, rich sound. American Unfiled cut. We find the V16 to be well suited to many of todays modern mouthpieces and they have a great balance of vibrancy and response.
