Vandoren ZZ Tenor Saxophone ReedsVandoren ZZ tenor 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.

These reeds speak very well and have nice projection. The only part that players should be aware of is that these reeds tend to run soft in strength like the VanDoren Java reeds. You may find that you need to order a 1/2 to full strength higher than you would with the VanDoren Traditional reeds.
I ordered a box of these awhile back and was surprised as to the quality. I had to chuck about 2 out but the others held up rather nicely. Right now I?m playing on a Mark VI, and it screams with these. Have a decent life span, highly recommended.
I have been playing alto for several years, but always loved the phat jazz sound of tenor saxes, so I bought one. I bought my tenor sax from WWBW because of their impeccable customer service and return/exchange policy. I have been searching for that reedy, buzzy sound that I love so much and had the wonderful opportunity to hear when I heard Richard Elliot in person. There are a million mouthpiece/reed combinations. Am I wrong? I think not. I came across a tenor Strathon Adjustone mouthpiece on the internet and jumped on it. I then bought some ZZ 3.5 reeds. I took a flexible fingernail file (the kind with the foam center) and used the smooth side to sand down the heart of the ZZ 3.5 to let the reed "move". I ended up with that buzzy jazz sound that everybody is looking for. My search is over!!
You've got to get these reeds. They produce a dry, hard, powerful, punching sound characteristic and sustain altissimo with ease. I play Guardalas on all horns and put a #3 on my Brecker II in the studio to hear what this reed really sounded like...WOW, the sound is signature hard bop and is perfect for hard blowing, horn section/funk work. I was playing RRJS for there consistency and was suffering quality. The ZZ's are as consistent and are not flat or fuzzy like the RRJS's...you'll love em'
I have found these reeds to be excellant on an Otto Link Super Tone Master. They produce an entirely different sound from other "jazz" reeds like Rico Jazz Select and La Voz and really let the Link open up. It is more buzzy, but it is a good buzz and does not take over the sound, only add to it. As the other reviewer found, they do tend to run a tad soft, but I think that is part of what makes them sound different. A harder ZZ reacts and sounds more like a different type of reed, but your results may vary. Highly recomended.
