Vandoren V12 Alto Saxophone Reeds (Each)
Thicker Cane. Deeper Sound. Precise Attack.
Achieve a new level of depth and control with Vandoren V12 Alto Saxophone Reeds. Distinguished by their silver box, these reeds are manufactured from cane tubes with the same diameter as those used for tenor saxophone reeds. Because this leads to a thicker heel and a longer palette (vibrating zone), the V12 allows for a deeper, richer sound with more body to the attack, making it the preferred choice for classical soloists and serious students seeking a darker, more substantial tone.
Why You Need It:
- Thicker Cane Construction: They are cut from cane with the specific diameter of tenor saxophone reeds. Therefore, the reed has a thicker heel and tip than the Traditional cut, providing more wood structure and greater longevity.
- Longer Vibrating Palette: The V12 features a longer palette than the standard Blue Box. Consequently, a larger surface area of the reed vibrates, resulting in a deep, rich sound that maintains its color across all registers.
- Precise Articulation: The slightly thicker tip provides a firm resistance. Furthermore, this adds control to the attack and ensures excellent stability, allowing for precise intonation even during wide dynamic shifts.
