Vandoren CR193 V12 Bb Clarinet Reeds 3 Strength Box of 10

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 V•12 line is expanding with the addition of Eb and Bass clarinet reeds, which offer a warm, rich and powerful sound.
