Vandoren Traditional alto saxophone reeds in strength 3.0 deliver a richer, fuller tone with more resistance and body than the 2.5. The filed cut maintains the warm, even character of the blue box while the added firmness provides greater projection and dynamic control. This strength is favored by intermediate to advanced players.

At strength 3.0, the Traditional rewards good air support with a mature, resonant alto sound that carries well in concert halls, recital rooms, and jazz clubs alike. The reed has enough substance to handle demanding passages while remaining responsive and musical. A classic choice that's been proven by generations of saxophonists.
