Vandoren - VK1 Synthetic Reeds B-flat Clarinet

For years, Vandoren products have been at the forefront of innovation. The new VK reed is made of a composite, food-safe, hypoallergenic, and 100%recyclable material specially developed by Vandoren. It is the result of 7 years of research. While the composite fiber material does not imitate the structure of cane, it does reproduce its essential physical characteristics to obtain the same acoustic behavior.

The VK reed is available in 6 strengths—35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60—corresponding to subdivisions divided by 3 of usual half-strengths of cane reeds. Please see the strength comparison charts for more information!

Two reeds of the same strength are strictly identical: unparalleled consistency resulting in reliable strength, sound, articulation, projection and high note stability.
