The Vandoren V16 Alto Sax reeds were launched in 1993 to answer the demand of some American jazz musicians, namely a JAVA with even more body. The result is the V16 reed which offers a brilliant, percussive sound with lots of projection.
The V16 has a thicker tip than the traditional Vandoren reeds
The V16 has a longer palette
Sound characteristics are percussive, vibrant and punchy
Ideal for jazz/funk/pop genres

Vandoren V16 Alto Sax Reed : Boxes of 10 Reviews
Anonymous review via Feefo - 2024-09-16
Excellent reed. Have tried many, without success. I find that the Vandoren V16 Alto Sax Reed - 2.5 does what I need to do. Great tonal quality and lasts longer than most reeds on the market. I wouldn't use any other reed with my alto.

I always use these. Find that quality varies a bit from reed to reed but you find that with them all!
