Vandoren V16 Baritone Saxophone Reed, Strength 3.5, Box of 5

New product

The V16 has a thicker tip than the traditional Vandoren reed and a longer pallet. This means that the sound is more brilliant, more percussive, and particularly well adapted to 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.
