Review: Pleasantly surprised - I've always used Vandoren reeds but this is the first time I have used these ones. I use a no.2 and have found it to be nice and responsive with a good tone. Reeds are very personal things and what suits some and mouthpieces may not suit others but I would definitely recommend giving these a go. I have a Trevor James bronze SR tenor with an Otto Link 4* mouthpiece.
Review: Wonderful reliable reeds - Strong enough to pop top notes and don't buckle when playing loudly.

- - HIGH FLEXIBILITY: The special shape of the back allows a very high degree of flexibility in the musician's playing, as the range of elasticity is very large.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If I use a 3.5 on the Vandoren traditional reeds, should I use a 3.5 on these too?.**
A: No. The traditional reeds are harder than the javas. A 3.5 traditional is equivalent to a 4 java. However, make sure to purchase your feed according to your mouthpiece facing. Different mouthpieces need different reed strengths.
