Developed in 1983 for jazz and popular music. A thicker tip and more flexible paddle than the traditional reed allows vibration over a larger surface area with maximum elasticity.

This type of spine gives the musician much greater playing flexibility, since the area of ​​elasticity is very large.

Paddle: area where waves propagate with greater range. From the tip, the waves are absorbed more into the JAVA shaft.
