Vandoren V12 Bass Clarinet Reed

The longer palette means that more of the reed is vibrating, resulting in a deeper, richer sound. Bb clarinet V12 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 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 V12 offer a warm, rich and powerful sound.
