From Clarinet V12s to Saxophone: Proven Expertise
The success of the V12 reeds in the clarinet world for over 25 years naturally led Vandoren to transpose their DNA to the saxophone. The goal is clear: to achieve the same manufacturing consistency and control sensation while maintaining a warm sonic identity and beautiful tonal depth.
For Which Alto Saxophonist and Styles?
These alto saxophone reeds at strength 2.5 are particularly suited for intermediate to advanced players seeking a good balance between ease of play and sound stability. They are well adapted to contexts aiming for a polished and round sound, in classical, jazz, pop, or ensemble settings, with clean articulation and a homogeneous color.
Sound and Design
Made from a selection of cane of specific dimensions, the V12 reeds stand out by having a more pronounced thickness at both ends compared to traditional reeds. This geometry promotes vibration over a longer palette, resulting in a rich and deep sound, enhanced homogeneity between lows, mids, and highs, and a sensation of stability in response. The thicker tip also provides more body to the attack and contributes to a longer lifespan over time.
