Vandoren V12 Bass Clarinet Reeds (Box of 5)

Bass clarinet V•12 reeds are manufactured from cane tubes with the same diameter as those used for tenor 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 vibrates, 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 offers a warm, rich, and powerful sound.
