About Vandoren SR2625 Alto Sax JAVA Reeds Strength 2.5
Overall Feedback:
81% positive
68% praised the reed's clear articulation, yet 32% desired more
These reeds can be used for both jazz and classical music with different ligatures and provide a brighter, buzzier tone than the other Vandorens.
I have noticed that the reeds are not evenly sized, resulting in an uneven heart and lack of playability or consistency.
80% appreciated the durability, though 20% didn't
These reeds are more reliable than other Vandoren reeds, especially the original version ones.
I used to play at a high level for several years using Vandoren reeds. After 4 years of not playing, I started again and was able to use only 4 reeds that were playable, whereas before I could get 6-7 gig playable reeds per box. This indicates a negative sentiment towards the durability of the reeds.
77% liked the reed's flexibility, while 23% faced issues
These reeds provide a brighter, buzzier tone than other Vandorens and can be used for both jazz and classical music if I alternate between different ligatures.
The reeds have drastically different size heights, resulting in terribly uneven heart and no playability or consistency on a recordable level.
72% appreciated the sensitivity, but 28% found it reactive
I noticed that the reeds were bad from the start due to their drastically different size heights on both sides, resulting in uneven heart and no playability or consistency on a recordable level.
