Developed in 1983 for jazz and popular music. A thicker tip and a more flexible palette* than the Traditional reed allow vibration over a larger surface area with maximum elasticity.
This type of vertebral column gives the musician much greater playing flexibility, as the resultant elasticity zone is very large.
Palette: zone where the waves are propagated with the greatest range. From the tip, the waves are absorbed further in the JAVA reed.
THE DIFFERENT CUTS OF SAXOPHONE REEDS
3D diagram showing the comparative level curves of the 7 reed series. All points on the same level curve have the same thickness. The more pointed the arch, the thicker the spine and heart, and conversely, the thinner the side bevels.
