Vandoren V12 Clarinet Reeds - Strength 3.5+ - 10 pack

V12 reeds are manufactured from cane tubes of the same diameter as those used for saxophone reeds. This leads to a higher manufacturing cost, as large diameter cane is more rare. 

Ass 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 introduction of the 3 1/2+ strength allows a smaller and more specific gradation, resulting in reeds that are more consistent within the same strength.
