Vandoren V16 Baritone Saxophone Reeds
The Vandoren V16 reed is tailored for saxophonists who desire a powerful, full-bodied sound with a bright edge. Inspired by the iconic jazz sounds of the 1950s and ‘60s, the V16 reed offers quick response, a rich tone, and great flexibility. It is well-suited for jazz, rock, and other contemporary music styles, making it a go-to choice for musicians looking for projection and punch in their playing.
Launched in 1993 to answer the demand of some American jazz musicians (a JAVA with even more wood). The V16 has a thicker tip than the traditional Vandoren reeds and a longer palette. ,Sound: more brilliant, more percussive, particularly well adapted to all the new styles of music. V16 reeds have a medium-thick heart (more than JAVA but less than Traditionals), with a profile designed for producing a strong attack with a deep, rich sound.
