 Vandoren ZZ Saxophone ReedsIn tests with Jazz saxophonists, the artists found the new "ZZ" reed to be immediately responsive without saxrificing the brightness or tone quality required for their style of music. Its free-blowing characteristics made the artists immediate fans of the new "ZZ" reed. ZZ reeds combine the medium-thick heart (more than Java but less than Traditionals), with a profile designed for producing a strong attack with a deep, rich sound.The topographical diagram of the Vandoren ZZ cut shows the lines connecting areas of equal thickness. The more pointed the arch, the thicker the spine and heart, conversely, the thinner the side bevels. |
