Vandoren Alto Sax Reeds Blue Box Traditional Model Vandoren Alto Sax Reeds are designed to produce an extremely pure sound due to a very thin reed tip (the area of reed with maximum vibration), balanced by a solid vertebral column (more cane in the area which climbs gradually to the heel). The Traditional “Blue Box” models set the standard for professional reeds. Traditionals feature the thinnest tip with the thickest heart, resulting in crisp articulation with a full, dark sound. Vandoren reeds are made in Bormes les Mimosas (Var), France in their facility closest to the Vandoren cane fields. French cane, French design, French sound.
