D'Addario Woodwinds VENN G2 Synthetic Alto Saxophone Reed No: 2.5

By combining the stability of a synthetic reed with the sound and feel of a natural reed, VENN heralds a new era in wind instrument innovation.

We reverse engineered the reed itself by layering polymer fibers with resin and reed particles.

The result? VENN delivers a sound like a natural reed, while offering longer life and superior performance.
