| | Vandoren Soprano Saxophone Reeds - Traditional - Box Of Ten
Vandoren has been a respected name in premium, high quality reeds for a number of years. Many performers, instructors and band leaders swear by the Vandoren (Paris) reeds because of their consistency in cane, durability and overall sound.
Reeds are typically available in strengths of 1 through 5 (some brands label their reeds as Soft, Medium Soft, ... through Hard) In general, the lower the number, the easier it is to play most notes. The down side, is that the lower number reeds just don't sound as nice, and make it harder to hit high notes.
As a general rule, we recommend reeds with a strength of 2 (Soft) for people just getting started, and strength 2 1/2 (Medium Soft) for people who have played for a year (less time if they take lessons). The harder reeds should only be used after using the next softer size of reed for six months to a year, or at the recommendation of a private instructor or band director.
All boxed reeds are at least 20% off list price. Reeds are not returnable.
