Vandoren V12 Bb Clarinet Reeds

V12 clarinet reeds are made using cane stalks of the same diameter used to produce alto saxophone reeds, so V12 reeds have a thicker heel and a longer, fuller vibrating surface than Traditional reeds, resulting in a richer, darker sound. Vandoren V12 reeds, having a thicker tip, give body to the attack and are more durable over time. The reeds are made from cane, which is particularly sensitive to changes in humidity. Vandoren V12 reeds are now individually packaged; these "Flow Packs" guarantee a reed with stable hydration.
