Vandoren Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece, Reeds, and Box

Vandoren's Bb Clarinet Mouthpieces and V.12 Reeds:

Vandoren offers two exceptional Bb clarinet mouthpieces, the CM1004 and the Black Diamond BD4, catering to the needs of advanced players. The CM1004 features a new internal and external design, providing musicians with a full, rich sound that is beautifully articulated in the upper register. The BD4 boasts a thicker heel with a longer palette, allowing for more vibration and a deep, resonant tone with a solid attack, resulting in longer-lasting reeds.

The Vandoren CR1935 Bb Clarinet V.12 Reeds, offered in a box of 10 and strength 3.5, are specially crafted for the advanced player. These reeds are made from thicker cane, recommended for long-facing mouthpieces. The V.12 reeds are manufactured from cane tubes of the same diameter as those used for saxophone reeds, leading to a higher manufacturing cost due to the rarity of large-diameter cane.

The unique design of the V.12 reeds features a thicker tip, measuring 0.10mm (0.004 inches), and a thicker heel, measuring 3.15mm (0.124 inches), which gives them the name "V.12." When comparing strengths, a V.12 strength 4 reed is almost equal to a traditional strength 3.5 reed, providing a rich, full sound with depth and color.

The V.12 reeds are sealed in a "Flow Pack" to ensure their freshness, making them a reliable choice for the advanced player. Whether you're looking for the exceptional tonal qualities of the CM1004 or the BD4 mouthpieces, or the specialized V.12 reeds, Vandoren has crafted a range of products that cater to the discerning needs of the clarinet virtuoso.
