Altsaksofonrør Vandoren VK7 30 Syntetisk

The synthetic reed by Vandoren

VK is a synthetic reed made of a composite material specially developed by Vandoren. It is the result of 7 years of research.
This composite material does not imitate the structure of the reed. It reproduces the essential physical characteristics of the reed to obtain the same acoustic behavior.

Totally new

• The VK reed is completely new, both in terms of the material of which it is made and the method of obtaining the material, and is covered by an international patent.
• The VK reed, and the material of which it is made, are produced in France in Bormes-Les-Mimosas. These reeds are 100% recyclable.

VK Reeds for Bb Clarinet

• VK reeds for Clarinet are available in 6 strengths.
• The VK reed strengths correspond to a 1/6 of a cane reed strength.
• Two reeds of the same strength are strictly identical: unparalleled consistency resulting in reliable strength, sound, articulation, projection and high note stability.

VK reeds for Alto Saxophone

• For alto saxophone, the VK reeds are available in two models:
  the VK1 Traditional type. Available in 7 strengths.
  the VK7 Jazz type. Available in 6 strengths.

As with VK reeds for Clarinet, VK reed strengths for Saxophone correspond to a 1/6 of a cane reed strength. Two reeds of the same strength are strictly identical.
