V12

V•12 reeds vibrate over a longer range than traditional reeds and provide a rich, deep sound

V•12 reeds for Bb clarinet are cut from cane tubes of the same diameter as those used for alto saxophone reeds. As a result, V•12 reeds are thicker at both ends than traditional reeds. They vibrate over a longer range and produce a rich, deep sound. The thicker tip adds body to the attack and also increases the longevity of the reed.

The addition of strength 3.5+ allows for a tighter graduation of strengths. This results in better homogeneity of reeds within the same strength.
