Your cart is empty.For the advanced player. Made from thicker cane, recommended for long facing mouthpieces. V. 12 reeds are manufactured from cane tubes of the same diameter as those used for saxophone reeds. This leads to a higher manufacturing cost, as large diameter cane is more rare. V. 12 reeds are thicker at each end: thickness at the tip: . 10mm (0. 004 inch) thickness at the heel: 3. 15mm (0. 124 inches, hence the name V. 12) in comparing Strengths, a V. 12 strength 4 Reed is almost equal to a traditional strength 3 1/2 Reed.

Vandoren Bb V12 Clarinet Reeds are the standard for Clarinet reeds. My son stands behind them as they are his go to as far as reeds go. He hears the subtle differences between the V12 version versus the basic Vandoren reeds (blue box).

The Vandoren CR193 Bb Clarinet V.12 Reeds are a testament to Vandoren's commitment to quality and consistency. As a clarinet player, I rely on reeds that deliver reliable performance, and these reeds exceed expectations. The strength 3 reeds offer the perfect balance of flexibility and stability, allowing for effortless playability across the entire range of the instrument. Each reed in the box of 10 is meticulously crafted to ensure uniformity, eliminating the need to sift through multiple reeds to find the right fit. Whether I'm practicing at home or performing on stage, I can always count on Vandoren V.12 reeds to deliver rich, resonant tones with precision and clarity. Overall, these reeds are a must-have for any clarinetist seeking superior sound quality and consistency.

My son has been using this reeds brand for a long time, they are very durable and well made. They don't chip easily.

My daughter has been playing the clarinet for a few years. We’ve been buying the Vandoren Traditional reeds in the blue box, they were OK but took effort to break in. My daughter tried two V-12 out of the box fresh with minimal break in and they were a game changer for her. Of the two, one was great out of the box, the other needed a bit of work, perhaps more break in but still better than what she was getting from the blue boxes.

I'm a professional clarinet player and have played Van Doren reeds almost exclusively since 1975. Although not currently my first choice, (I switched to synthetic reeds), that is irrelevant to anyone who wants cane reeds.I prefer V12 to other Van Doren styles because they work better with my Behn Epic mouthpiece. Individual players may like other styles, but V12 works for the sound I like for orchestral, band, chamber, and solo work. These are authentic Van Dorens, as verified by putting individual reed codes (stamped on the back of each reed) into the Van Doren reed authenticator on their website. Beware of knockoffs--always check your reed codes, especially if you order online from a source you aren't familiar with.I give 4 stars because Van Doren reeds are notorious for having only a small percentage which are really good--the rest require reed adjustment, which takes a degree of knowledge, skill, patience and time, not to mention tools.I trust this supplier to have authentic Van Dorens.

7 von 10 Blättchen waren bestens spielbar auf einem Van Dooren Mundstück. Gute Anspraqche. Bei andern Hersteller markant weniger.

My old Vandoren 2.5 reeds that I was cycling through went all soggy, so I opted for some new ones and bumped up to 3.They're genuine (I checked on the Vandoren website).I know using a new reed is always nice, but my Clarinet sounded like a new instrument.

Pour un clarinettiste amateur , la différence avec les anches classiques est difficile à percevoir.
