A V12 Variation Designed for Saxophone
Building on over 25 years of success in the clarinet world, V12 reeds bring their sonic identity to the saxophone: consistency, rich tone, and a feeling of stability. The cane is selected in specific dimensions, with a cut that promotes generous vibration for a deep sound.
For Which Saxophonist and Styles
At strength 5, these reeds are mainly aimed at advanced to professional saxophonists seeking stability, density, and controlled projection. They are particularly suitable for contexts targeting a round, steady, and homogeneous sound : modern jazz, classical, section playing, studio work, and refined popular music.
Sound and Design
Thicker at both ends than traditional reeds, the V12s vibrate on a longer palette, resulting in a rich and deep sound. The thicker tip adds body to the attack, stabilizes response, and contributes to a longer lifespan, while maintaining a clear and focused emission.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve flatness and longevity, the use of a ventilated reed case (alto saxophone size) is recommended, as well as a swab to limit moisture in the mouthpiece after playing.
