Product Overview
The Traditional Vandoren Bass Clarinet Reed represents over a century of expertise in reed making, tracing its heritage to founder Eugène Van Doren who established the company in 1905 and led it to become a worldwide presence specializing in reeds, mouthpieces, and accessories. Three generations later, Vandoren continues to make waves in the woodwind industry, with their clarinet and saxophone reeds playing a critical role in the company's continued success and reputation for excellence.
The strength 5 specification provides the substantial resistance needed for advanced bass clarinet performance, offering the control and projection required for professional applications while maintaining the responsiveness that allows for intricate, articulate playing across the instrument's full register. This strength is particularly suited for players who have developed proper embouchure technique and need the additional resistance for powerful projection and dynamic control.
Each reed features the traditional design with a thin tip and thick heart that produces a highly articulate, full-bodied tone with impeccable clarity. The premium cane construction, sourced directly from Vandoren's fields in southern France, ensures consistent quality while the company's commitment to environmental responsibility means all waste material is recycled through composting and other sustainable means.
