Your cart is empty.The driving force behind the JAVA 'Filed - Red Cut' design was to offer more sonic possibilites to musicians while keeping the qualities of the original JAVA. More flexible than its elder version, with a little more tonal body, the JAVA 'Filed - Red Cut' offers a full, rich centered sound and excellent projection with an extremely precise attack.

Reeds are such an individual thing. For me these #3 Red Box Vandoren French Cut are well, PERFECT and Vandoren is consistent in their reed quality which is why I've been buying them for decades.

These have become my new default reeds. They play great, the sound great, 10/10 value.

I was using a 2 1/2, and decided to go back up to three after many years. I don’t think I was able to play with a three properly years ago, but I am much better now, and this is the upgrade I needed. 2 1/2 is easy to play to start, but, the Reeds get too soft after a while and when I’m trying to hit a high note, I’ll get stuffed, and the note won’t even play on the first attack. Now, I don’t get stuffed at all every time I go to hit a note it comes out. Part of that is the person and their mouth position, but this was beyond technique, And using a three proves it

Son las cañas que siempre he utilizado, y aunque he probado muchas otras, ninguna tiene la sonoridad y el equilibrio de estas. Sencillamente son mis eternas compañeras, de calidad, duraderas, de sonido potente y naturales! Lo mejor!

I started using these exclusively for marching band, but they work in a lot of ways if you learn to control them. The thin tip and strong spine allows them to be seriously free blowing, while allowing you to be precise and control your sound. Don't get me wrong, they can take some getting used to after playing other reeds, but after a while, they feel amazing. Since they're thinner than others, they can wear out pretty quick, especially after using them for extending periods throughout practice. If your reeds "die", you can give them a bath in water mixed with hydrogen peroxide, scrub any scum off of them, and dry them off. This process revived my week+ old reeds, brought them to playing brand new. Overall, these are the best reeds I have personally ever played on. Definitely worth the money.

It's really about personal preference with reeds but once you decide these are a very consistent buy and I can usually use every reed which isn't always true of a larger cheaper set.

I get pretty good results from these reeds. Using the 3 strength on a Jody Jazz DVNY 7*. Playing a wide variety but 75% of the time I'm playing early punk, experimental rock and blues/rock tunes.I will open and playtest all 5 reeds in a box and usually get 1-2 that are standout players. These will last me anywhere from 3-6 weeks each. I never even take them off the mouthpiece until they are ready to be thrown away.By this time I can cycle through the rest of the reeds in the box. I end up with about 1-2 that are completely useless (reeds are like that unfortunately) but with some love and break-in the rest of the box will play as well as the first two reeds did.I play experimental/rock (think Stooges and T. Rex), deep house, reggae and of course jazz. I get a lot of versatility from the mouthpiece and reed combination. I can blow, blow, blow for the rock and house stuff, or get sexy, growly and smooth a la Stan Getz depending on my attack and air. This is probably more of a feature of the moutpiece. But the reeds last a long time. Some of them may seem "blatty" but they just need to really get the fibers stretched out and worn in. The "blatty" reeds last the longest and sound the best IMO, once they break in.When I was using blue box filed Vandoren (same strength), on the contrary, the "blatty" reeds stayed stuffy and generally "flat"/"dead" and never would really "wake up" like the red Javas do. Reeds never lasted this long with a metal mouthpiece but I find them to be a great value, great sound, and a lot of fun to play in general.But then again, a reed is just a reed...
