Vandoren V21 E-Flat Clarinet Reeds - Singles
Vandoren V21 E-Flat Clarinet Reeds - Singles
Note: These are priced per reed. One of 'em. (Not a box. Though you're welcome to buy 10 of them, and I may just throw in the box for free)
Note #2: These are Eb Clarinet Reeds! (In other words, don't buy them by accident thinking they're Bb Clarinet reeds!)
These are a newer variety Vandoren produces. They are the child of the Rue 56 (which is a bit of a thicker cut of cane), and the V12 (which doesn't taper as much as the Rue 56 toward the butt of the reed). They typically are about 1/2-strength harder than the traditional cut (the "blue box") so take that into consideration.
These reeds are ideal for advanced clarinet players.
Feel free to buy single reeds—I don't charge a premium for breaking up a box, so you can just buy a few, or mix and match. Seriously no one else does this.
For those doing math, I price these reeds as one-tenth of a normal box of 10 reeds. But you don't need to buy a box to get this discount!
Love the singles...I just got an Eb which I've never played before (but I play almost all the other clarinets). I need to figure out my reed/lig situation, and the singles are definitely helpful!
Exactly what I ordered came. I play 56 Rue Lepic's for Bb and I find that the tapered heel reed cut works well for me when I'm doubling (bass/Eb clar, saxes). Videos on the site have taught me how to make them last, so it'll be a while, but when I'm shopping again, this will be my first stop.
Service and price were great. However the Forestone reeds I've been using are superior.
