D’Addario Reserve Bass Clarinet Reeds

Traditional radius, longer vamp.

A thick blank, filed reed that offers great projection, featuring a medium tip thickness for warmth and core of sound, a traditional tip radius for ease of response and articulation, and a longer vamp for increased tonal flexibility.

Clear plastic reed that is stable, consistent, and long lasting in any weather. Available in strengths Soft, Medium and Hard. One reed per package.

V12 reeds are manufactured from cane tubes with the same diameter as cane used for alto saxophone reeds. As a result, they have a thicker heel and are cut with a longer vamp with a slightly thicker tip than the Traditional. The longer vamp means that more of the reed is vibrating, resulting in a deeper, richer sound.

The thicker tip gives body to the attack.

Jazz musicians consistently choose La Voz Bass Clarinet reeds for their powerful tone and flexibility. These reeds are crafted with D'Addario's engineered reed-making technology, featuring a well-balanced profile and stronger spine to provide you with a full tone, no matter your playing style. 

The V21 reed utilizes the conical shape of the 56 rue Lepic combined with the profile of the V.12 and is designed for players looking for warmth and depth of sound while still achieving immediate response.
