Vandoren CM40018 13 Series M30 Lyre Profile 88 Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece and Reeds

The Vandoren CM40018 13 Series M30 Lyre Profile 88 Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece has been a defining factor in the ideal clarinet sound for decades. Renowned for its impeccable intonation, crisp and accurate articulation, and unrivaled response, this mouthpiece is the preferred choice of professional clarinetists around the world.

The Vandoren CR1935 Bb Clarinet V.12 Reeds, available in a box of 10 with a strength of 3.5, are specifically designed for the advanced player. These reeds are crafted from thicker cane, making them well-suited for use with long-facing mouthpieces. The V.12 reeds are manufactured from cane tubes of the same diameter as those used for saxophone reeds, resulting in a higher manufacturing cost due to the rarity of large-diameter cane.

The unique construction of the V.12 reeds, with a thickness of 0.10mm (0.004 inches) at the tip and 3.15mm (0.124 inches) at the heel, gives them a distinct advantage compared to traditional reeds. In fact, a V.12 strength 4 reed is almost equal in performance to a traditional strength 3 1/2 reed.

The Vandoren CM40018 13 Series M30 Lyre Profile 88 Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece features a 113.5 (1/100mm) tip opening and a long facing that works best with Vandoren #3-#4 reeds. This mouthpiece's Profile 88 beak and its place in the Series 13 (A=440) lineup contribute to its exceptional performance.

The Vandoren CR1935 Bb Clarinet V.12 Reeds are individually sealed in "Flow Pack" to ensure freshness, and they can also be purchased in a 50-pack (CR1935/50) for those who require a larger quantity.

The combination of the Vandoren CM40018 13 Series M30 Lyre Profile 88 Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece and the Vandoren CR1935 Bb Clarinet V.12 Reeds provides clarinetists with a superior playing experience, delivering a deeper, richer sound with enhanced vibration and unparalleled responsiveness.
