Vandoren Traditional Alto Saxophone Reeds – Strength 1.5 (Bulk Box of 50)
The Vandoren Traditional Strength 1.5 (SR2115-50) is now available in a cost-effective bulk box of 50, designed specifically for music educators, schools, and high-volume players. These "Blue Box" reeds are the global benchmark for tonal purity. With a very thin tip and a solid vertebral column, they offer the easiest possible response for developing embouchures, ensuring a clear, rich sound from the very first note.
The Angkor Music Educator’s Value Guide
For school band programs across Australia, consistency is everything. We recommend the 50-count bulk box not just for the significant cost savings, but for the convenience of having a semester's worth of reeds on hand. Because every single reed is individually sealed in a Flow-Pack, you don't have to worry about the reeds drying out or warping in a storage cupboard. At Strength 1.5, these are the ideal "starter" reeds; they allow students to produce a sound without physical strain, which is vital for keeping young players engaged and motivated during those first critical months of learning.
Bulk Reliability for Studios and Schools
1. Effortless Response
The 1.5 strength is engineered for instant vibration. This allows for a pianissimo attack even in the high register, making it the perfect choice for students mastering their first scales.
2. Tonal Richness and Body
Despite being easy to play, the "solid vertebral column" design ensures the sound has clarity and body, preventing the thin, buzzy tone often found in lower-quality beginner reeds.
3. Individual Flow-Pack Sealing
Every one of the 50 reeds is sealed in its own moisture-controlled wrapper. This ensures factory-fresh performance every time a student opens a new reed, regardless of how long the box has been stored.
4. Proven Versatility
Whether for concert band, private lessons, or solo practice, Vandoren Traditionals provide the flexibility needed for staccato and legato execution across all intervals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I buy a box of 50 instead of multiple boxes of 10?
The 50-count box offers a lower "per-reed" cost, making it the most economical choice for teachers, schools, or serious students who practice several hours a day and go through reeds quickly.
Will the reeds stay fresh in such a large box?
Yes. Because each reed is individually sealed in Vandoren’s Flow-Pack, the internal humidity is maintained perfectly. You could open the last reed in the box two years from now and it would play as if it were just cut.
Is Strength 1.5 suitable for all beginners?
Strength 1.5 is the standard recommendation for most primary and secondary school beginners. It provides a balanced resistance that helps build embouchure strength without causing frustration.
