These Reeds were 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.

Vandoren Java Tenor Saxophone Reeds (Filed Cut) (Box of 5)

This type of vertebral column gives the musician much greater playing flexibility, as the resultant elasticity zone is very large.

What is the difference between a filed reed and an unfiled reed?

Filed reeds, or French Cut reeds, are sax reeds with straight horizontal line cut just above the bark. Unfiled reeds, or American Cut, are identified by their distinct “U” shape at the bottom of the vamp, and no line. This feature has very little, if any, influence on the tone color of the reed. The actual profile of the vamp has much more influence on the overall sound.
