Vandoren V12 Bb Clarinet Reeds (Each)
Thicker Cane. Deeper Sound. Precise Attack.
Elevate your performance with Vandoren V12 Bb Clarinet Reeds. Distinguished by their silver box, these reeds are manufactured from cane tubes with the same diameter as those used for alto saxophone reeds. Because this leads to a thicker heel and a longer palette (vibrating zone), the V12 allows for a deeper, richer sound with more body to the attack. They are the preferred choice for advanced players seeking a darker tone and greater longevity than the Traditional cut.
Why You Need It:
- Thicker Heel & Tip: The V12 features a thicker heel (3.15mm) and a slightly thicker tip (0.10mm) compared to the Traditional model. Therefore, the reed has more wood and structure, providing a centered, stable sound that holds up well under intense playing.
- Longer Palette: The vibrating zone of the reed is longer than the Traditional cut. Consequently, you get more vibrating surface area, resulting in a deeper, richer sound across all registers, especially in the altissimo.
- Premium Selection: Manufactured from cane with a specific diameter and tested to strict tolerances. Furthermore, the V12 design offers excellent control and stability, allowing for precise articulation and a homogeneous tone quality in every octave.
