Vandoren ZZ Alto Saxophone Reeds
The Perfect Fusion. Rich Tone. Fast Response.
Get the best of both worlds with Vandoren ZZ Alto Saxophone Reeds. Developed in 2002, the ZZ was created to give jazz players the rich, dark resonance of the V16 reed without sacrificing the easy playability of the JAVA. Because they are designed with a unique relationship between the heart and the tip, they offer immediate response and a brilliant, colorful sound, allowing you to play freely without fighting the reed for projection.
Why You Need It:
- Hybrid Design Architecture: The ZZ combines the medium-thick heart (spinal column) of the V16 with the flexible palette of the JAVA. Therefore, you get the deep, rich core sound of a classical-style reed with the lightning-fast response of a jazz reed.
- Free-Blowing Feel: This reed is designed to be extremely free-blowing. Consequently, it requires less air pressure to activate than the V16, making it an excellent choice for players who want a big sound without the heavy resistance.
- Tonal Versatility: The “ZZ” stands for “Jazz,” but its colorful tonal character works across genres. Furthermore, its ability to remain consistent across all registers makes it perfect for complex improvisation where agility and tone color are paramount.
