Traditional Reeds
The most widely played reeds in the world with a superiority proven over the years, these reeds suit all styles of music. Traditional reeds are known for their excellent response in all registers, allowing a pianissimo attack in even the highest notes. They are also extremely flexible, allowing the legato or staccato execution
of large intervals while maintaining a richness of tone that gives body andclarity to the sound, which is a hallmark of Vandoren reeds.
V12 Reeds
V12 reeds are manufactured from cane tubes with the same diameter as cane used for alto saxophone reeds. As a result, they have a thicker heel and are cut on a longer palette with a slightly thicker tip than the Traditional. The longer palette means that more of the reed is vibrating, resulting in a deeper, richer
sound. The thicker tip gives body to the attack and also increases the longevity of the reed.
Java
Developed in 1983 for jazz and popular music. A thicker tip and a more flexible palette* than the Traditional reed allow vibration over a larger surface area with maximum elasticity. This type of vertebral column gives the musician much greater playing flexibility, as the resultant elasticity zone is very large. JAVA reeds are more flexible than Traditionals and V16s and vibrate on a long palette, creating a bright sound with immediate response.  Palette: zone where the waves are propagated with the greatest range. Fromthe tip, the waves are absorbed further in the JAVA reed.
Java RED
The driving force behind the JAVA “Filed - Red Cut” design was to offer more sonic possibilities to musicians while keeping the qualities of the original Java. More flexible than its elder version, with a little more tonal body, the JAVA “Filed - Red Cut” offers a full, rich, centered sound and excellent projection
with an extremely precise attack. A relative of the JAVA reed family, the JAVA “Filed - Red Cut” is the first file cut Vandoren reed for jazz and popular music. It also benefits from a completely new design.
V16
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 witha deep, rich sound.
ZZ Reeds
Developed in 2002, the ZZ jazz reed is immediately responsive without sacrificing the brightness tone quality required for this syle of music. The unique relationship between the heart and tip provides extraordinary color, great response and a durable life.
ZZ reeds combine the medium-thick heart, spine, and rounded tip of the V16 with the flexible palette design of the JAVA, giving the player a rich, colorfulsound with quick response.
