Rico Bass Clarinet Reeds

This special Signature cut Synthetic reed is know for a deep rich tone. Available in half and quarter strengths for more accurate matching to your mouthpiece. One reed per package. 

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.

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. 

Superiority proven over many years, these reeds suit all styles of music.

The principal acoustic qualities are :

Excellent response in all registers, even allowing a pianissimo attack of the highest notes. Flexibility allowing the legato or staccato execution of large intervals.

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.
