The Vandoren Jazz Mix tenor saxophone reed 4-pack at strength 2.5 is the most popular sampler in the range, offering one each of JAVA Green, JAVA Red, ZZ, and V16 at the strength most tenor players gravitate toward. At 2.5, each cut's character comes through clearly with balanced, comfortable resistance.

This is the 4-pack to get if you're a tenor player exploring Vandoren jazz reeds for the first time, or if you've been on one cut for a while and want to see what else might work. The differences in brightness, warmth, flexibility, and projection between the four cuts are real and meaningful. Find your match before buying a full box.
