Vandoren V16 alto saxophone reeds produce the darkest, warmest tone in Vandoren's jazz reed range. Designed to capture the sound of the great jazz saxophonists of the past, the V16 features a thicker spine and traditional profile that deliver a rich, round tone with smooth projection. Strength 2.0 keeps things light and flexible.

If JAVA Greens are too bright and you want more warmth and depth from your jazz reed, the V16 is the answer. These reeds pair especially well with Vandoren's V16 mouthpieces and work beautifully for traditional jazz, swing, and blues. The darker character also appeals to players who use jazz reeds for pop and R&B work. Box of 10.
