Vandoren's are the most widely played reeds in the world with a superiority proven over the years, these reeds suit all styles of music.
Traditionals are known for their excellent response in all registers, allowing a pianissimo attack in even the highest notes. They are also extremely flexible, allowing the legato or staccato execution of large intervals while maintaining a richness of tone that gives body and clarity to the sound, which is a hallmark of Vandoren reeds.

V•12 reeds have a thicker heel and are cut on a longer palette with a slightly thicker tip than the Traditional. The longer palette means that more of the reed is vibrating, resulting in a deeper, richer sound. The thicker tip gives body to the attack and also increases the longevity of the reed.

Designed from thicker cane with a heel taper very similar to German-style reeds, the 56 emits a rich, centered, and extremely pure sound while providing maximum stability and quick response in all registers. Strength gradations are smaller and more specific, resulting in reeds that are very consistent.

V12 reeds are manufactured from cane tubes with the same diameter as cane used for alto sax reeds.As a result, they have a thicker heel and are cut on a longer pallet with a slightly thicker tip that theTraditional.

V•12 reeds for Bb clarinet are manufactured from cane tubes with the same diameter as cane used for alto saxophone reeds. As a result, they have a thicker heel and are cut on a longer palette with a slightly thicker tip than the Traditional. The longer palette means that more of the reed is vibrating, resulting in a deeper, richer sound. The thicker tip gives body to the attack and also increases the longevity of the reed. The introduction of the # 31⁄2+ strength allows a smaller and more specific gradation, resulting in reeds that are more consistent within the same strength. The V•12 line is expanding with the addition of Eb and Bass clarinet reeds, which offer a warm, rich and powerful sound. Strengths available : 2,5 - 3 - 3,5 - 3,5+ - 4 - 4,5 - 5 - 5+
