Vandoren SR7025 Alto Sax V16 Reeds Strength 2.5, Box of 10

The Vandoren V16 reed, launched in 1993, was designed to meet the demands of American jazz musicians who sought a Java reed with even more wood. This new reed features a thicker tip and a longer palette compared to the traditional Vandoren reeds. The result is a sound that is more brilliant and more percussive, making it particularly well-suited for the new styles of music.

The V16 reed has a medium-thick heart, which is thicker than the Java reed but thinner than the Traditional reed. This unique design provides a balance between the warmth and the projection that many musicians seek.

In addition to the standard strength, the V16 reed is also available in other strengths to cater to the diverse needs of musicians. Each reed is individually sealed in a "Flow Pack" to ensure its freshness and optimal playing condition.
