![Vandoren Java (Green) Alto Saxophone Reeds](http://www.northcountrywinds.com/cdn/shop/products/bte-10-anches-Java-Sax-Alto-768x911_{width}x.jpg?v=1616791617)
Developed in 1983 for jazz and popular music. A thicker tip and a more flexible palette* than the Traditional reed allow vibration over a larger surface area with maximum elasticity.
This type of vertebral column gives the musician much greater playing flexibility, as the resultant elasticity zone is very large.
Palette: zone where the waves are propagated with the greatest range. From the tip, the waves are absorbed further in the JAVA reed.
