The synthetic reed by Vandoren
VK is a synthetic reed made of a composite material specially developed by Vandoren. It is the result of 7 years of research. This composite material does not imitate the structure of the reed. It reproduces the essential physical characteristics of the reed to obtain the same acoustic behavior.
VK reeds are made in France in Bormes les Mimosas
Vandoren VK reeds are fully recyclable
Same acoustic behavior as natural reeds
Totally new
The VK reed is completely new, both in terms of the material of which it is made and the method of obtaining the material, and is covered by an international patent. The VK reed, and the material of which it is made, are produced in France in Bormes-Les-Mimosas. These reeds are 100% recyclable.
VK reeds for Saxophone
For alto saxophone, the VK reeds are available in two models:
• the VK1 Traditional type.
• the VK7 Jazz type.
As with VK reeds for Clarinet, VK reed strengths for Saxophone correspond to a 1/6 of a cane reed strength. Two reeds of the same strength are strictly identical.
