Vandoren VK1 Synthetic Alto Saxophone Reed

VK1 synthetic reeds guarantee classical saxophonists consistent and reliable playability without compromising sound quality. Resistant to environmental variations, they offer a stable and reliable solution for musicians, even in the most demanding conditions. Ideal for all classical styles, marching bands, and pit orchestras.

The VK reeds for saxophone are made of a composite material specially developped by Vandoren. It is the result of 7 years of research.

This composite fiber material does not imitate the structure of cane.
It reproduces its essential physical characteristics to obtain the same acoustic behavior.

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