Vandoren V12 Clarinet Reeds

The Vandoren V12 clarinet reeds 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 pallet with a slightly thicker tip than the Traditional. This 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.

A V12 strength 4 reed is almost the equal to a Tradtional strenght 3.5 reed
