The success of V12 Reeds in the clarinet world for 25 years has led us to transpose their characteristics and advantages into the saxophone world.

With its very precise attack, homogeneous timbre in every register, controlled high notes, warm and velvety sound, this new reed offers exceptional possibilities.

Produced from cane selected for its specific proportions, the V12 Reeds 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.

In comparing strengths, a V12 strength 4 reed is most equal to a Traditional strength 3 ½ reed.

The V12 Alto Saxophone reeds use larger cane which leads to a higher manufacturing cost, as large diameter cane is rarer.
