Vandoren's Traditional tenor saxophone reeds have been a go-to for tenor players for well over a century — and it's easy to understand why. The SR2235 is the strength 3.5 version of the Traditional line, and this listing is for a 3-pack, giving you a few reeds on hand so you're never caught without a fresh one.
The Traditional reed's design is built around two things: a very thin tip (the part that vibrates the most) and a solid vertebral column — more cane mass running up toward the heel — that balances that thin tip out. The result is a sound that sits on the darker, fuller side compared to filed-cut reeds. The unfiled (traditional) cut keeps the bark on the reed's shoulders, which contributes to that slightly more resistant, centered character. These reeds are cut from cane grown in southern France and work across a wide range of playing styles — from classical and concert band to jazz and everything in between.
