Vandoren V21 Bb reeds incorporate the conical shaped design of the 56 Rue Lepic reed together with a V12 profile. Vandoren call this the sonic design. This combination of design features help players to produce warm responsive tones. It makes all registers of the clarinet more accessible with a lovely depth to the sound and excellent projection. V21 reeds enable players to execute large interval leaps more efficiently with an even and rich tone. After the success of this reed for clarinet Vandoren have now brought out the V21 for Bass Clarinet. Why not pop into the store to try a V21 and see if its the sound for you.
