Vandoren Synthetic Jazz Alto Saxophone Reed

Vandoren VK7 Jazz alto sax reeds

The new VK series synthetic reeds are made from a composite material specially developed by Vandoren and are the result of seven years of research. The composite fiber does not imitate the structure of cane, but reproduces its essential physical characteristics to achieve the same acoustic behavior.

The VK reeds perform significantly longer than natural reeds with a high degree of consistency.
The VK reeds must be stored on a flat surface, preferably in a reed holder with a flat surface (not a standard reed holder).

The reeds can be used straight out of the package, without any preparation. The material is washable and can be disinfected with alcohol or with a food-grade disinfectant.

There are six Vandoren VK7 strengths available for alto saxophone.
The strengths fall between 2 and 2.5 traditional reed strengths.

Features:
- The material is stable, moisture- and rot-resistant
- It does not warp when drying and is resistant to saliva
- The material is fully recyclable
- The same acoustic behavior as natural reeds
- Reliable consistency in strength, sound, articulation, projection, and stability
- Made in France in Bormes les Mimosas
