{"product_id":"vandoren-v12-3-5-saxophone-alto-65780","title":"V12 3.5 - SR6135","description":"\u003ch3\u003eFrom Clarinet to Saxophone: The V12 DNA Transposed\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn from a true success in the clarinet world, the \u003cstrong\u003eVandoren V12\u003c\/strong\u003e reeds inspired a version designed for the saxophone. The goal is clear: to bring to the alto saxophone what makes the V12 series renowned, namely reliable response, remarkable homogeneity, and a denser sound signature. This approach, based on a selection of cane with specific dimensions, positions the V12 as a reed focused on \u003cstrong\u003etimbre quality\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003estability\u003c\/strong\u003e, while maintaining a controlled feel under the breath.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFor Which Saxophonist and Styles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its \u003cstrong\u003estrength 3.5\u003c\/strong\u003e, this reed is primarily aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced\u003c\/strong\u003e saxophonists (and professionals) seeking good endurance, controlled projection, and a more \"settled\" sound. It is particularly suited to repertoires where a \u003cstrong\u003eround and deep\u003c\/strong\u003e sound is desired: classical, traditional jazz, ballads, wind orchestra, or even pop when color is favored over aggressiveness. If you enjoy playing with a stable air column and a well-established embouchure, the V12 in 3.5 is an excellent choice for gaining solidity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSound and Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from \u003cstrong\u003ecane\u003c\/strong\u003e, the V12 reed stands out due to a \u003cstrong\u003ethicker design at both ends\u003c\/strong\u003e compared to traditional reeds. The result: it vibrates on a \u003cstrong\u003elonger blade\u003c\/strong\u003e, which promotes a \u003cstrong\u003erich\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003edeep\u003c\/strong\u003e, and very \u003cstrong\u003ehomogeneous\u003c\/strong\u003e sound across registers. The \u003cstrong\u003ethicker tip\u003c\/strong\u003e provides more substance to the attack (a more \"controlled\" note onset) and contributes to \u003cstrong\u003ebetter longevity\u003c\/strong\u003e. Both to the ear and under the fingers, you experience a sensation of control and stability, with \u003cstrong\u003econtrolled highs\u003c\/strong\u003e and precise response, highly appreciated on alto saxophone.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eRecommended Compatible Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo keep reeds consistent for longer, a \u003cstrong\u003eventilated reed case\u003c\/strong\u003e is an excellent option: it helps stabilize the cane and protects the tips during transport. A \u003cstrong\u003eswab\u003c\/strong\u003e suitable for alto saxophone is also recommended to limit residual moisture in the mouthpiece and neck, promoting more comfortable daily practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ealto sax\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eGrey\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForce\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e3,5\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e10\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ereed\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct subject to a specific withdrawal right\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003efor hygiene reasons, if the product has been opened, it cannot be returned or exchanged.\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Vandoren","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54334195335443,"sku":"65780","price":37.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/4c68b00431067e4629ec148d7b33e48095dc91b7_AVD_SR6135.png?v=1789747394","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/vandoren-v12-3-5-sr6135-65780","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
