Van Doren ZZ alto saxophone reeds are designed to supply what are
often mutually opposing characteristics in a reed--depth of tone and
immediate response. Added to this seemingly impossible solution to one
of the reed musician's most enduring conundrums is the fact that ZZ
reeds are free blowing and easy to play. Impossible you say? Put the lie
to this bold claim if you can. All that’s left for you to do is play to
become a believer.
Vandoren's ZZ reeds feature a unique
relationship between the heart of the reed, where the tone is produced,
and the thickness of the tip, which is responsible for vibration. The
result is a reed with extraordinary tone and immediate response that is
free-blowing even in the altissimo range. The ZZ reeds accomplish this
immediate response without sacrificing brightness or tone quality.
Professional
saxophonists like L.A. recording artist Gary Foster, Delmark recording
artist Frank Catalano, and many others have made the switch to
Vandoren’s ZZ reeds for both live performances and studio recordings.
According to a Vandoren reeds chart, ZZ reeds feel one-half strength
less thick in comparison to Vandoren Traditional reeds, and run even in
strength with JAVA reeds. For example, a Vandoren ZZ strength 3 reed
would feel equivalent to a Vandoren Traditional in strength 2.5.
