Vandoren Blue Jumbo Java Alto Sax Mouthpiece
The Vandoren Blue Jumbo Java is back! For years, players have been paying an exorbitant price for second-hand originals, or boutique “replicas”. Originally re-released as a limited edition item in 2021, Vandoren has decided to make them part of normal production! Players can now can get the real deal once again!
Vandoren is producing the iconic mouthpiece in one facing – the A45 for alto sax. This has a 2.20mm / .086+” tip opening which would compare to most size 8 mouthpieces. However, with the with a small chamber and high baffle, the mouthpiece “feels” more like a 7 / 7* to most players. This makes it a very playable, hard hitting mouthpiece as it produces a powerful, aggressive sound that is perfectly suited to pop and rock music.

Trial & Return Policy
Kessler & Sons Music offers a 3 day trial / return policy by default on in stock instruments and mouthpieces. There are no cleaning fees or restocking fees (assuming that the item is returned in proper condition).
When we ship the mouthpiece, we install a blue protective film over the logo to help protect the logo from irreparable scratches while it is being tested. We also install a tooth patch before shipping. This way you can test the mouthpiece with less fear of damage. However, you can still damage the mouthpiece even with these protections, so make sure to handle it carefully while you are testing it. We recommend leaving these items on the mouthpiece during the testing phase and only to remove them after you have made the decision to keep the mouthpiece. Mouthpieces that are returned with irreparable scratches/marks might not be accepted for return.
Please read our terms & conditions (link at the bottom of the page) for full details on this policy.
