Suitable for all jazz playing styles.
The Vk reeds for saxophone are made of a composite material specially developped by Vandoren. It is the result of 7 years of research.
This composite fiber material does not imitate the structure of cane.
It reproduces its essential physical characteristics to obtain the same acoustic behavior.
The VK reed strenghts correspond to a 1/6 of a cane reed strength
Two reeds of the same strength are strictly identical : unparalleled consistency resulting in reliable stregth, sound, articulation, projection and high note stability.
Totally new
The VK reed is completely new, both in terms of the material of which it is made and the method of obtaining the material, and is covered by an international patent.
The VK reed, and the material of which it is made, are produced in France in Bormes-Les-Mimosas. These reeds are 100% recyclable.
