Vandoren V16 Alto Saxophone Reeds Box of 10 - 5
The Vandoren V16 Alto Saxophone Reeds - Strength 5 (Box of 10) are designed for players seeking maximum power, projection, and tonal depth in jazz and contemporary settings. Inspired by the sound of classic American jazz reeds, the V16 range delivers a bold, expressive tone with excellent flexibility.
These reeds feature an unfiled (American cut) with a thicker tip and longer palette, allowing for greater vibration, a fuller sound, and strong projection. Compared to traditional reeds, V16 reeds produce a brighter, more powerful jazz tone with plenty of edge when pushed.
The strength 5 is very hard, offering maximum resistance and control. It is best suited for:
- Advanced and professional players
- Strong embouchures and developed airflow
- Players using more open tip mouthpieces
