Vandoren V12 Bb Clarinet ReedsV12 reeds have a thicker tip and longer pallet that results in a deeper, richer sound with body to the attack. This cut is a favorite among clarinetists world-wide. It is designed for the advanced clarinetist, and recommended for long-facing mouthpieces such as the 5RVLyre and B45. It is known for its precise attack, homogenous timbre in every register, controllability in the high register, and overall warm and velvety sound.

I bought these reeds for the clarinetist in my ensemble. These reeds took him some time about a week to get used to. Results: richer tone, reeds that last longer due to a thicker cut, easier altissimo register, and more importantly, better intonation. I highly recommend these reeds.
I just got a box of these reeds to compare with the traditional Vandorens and I?m glad I did! I'm playing on a B45 mouthpiece and a Buffet R13 and #4 V12's and I can get a pretty rich and dark sound. Comparing them the V12's had a noticeably darker richer sound; this comes from the thicker heel and heart of the reed. This for me has also helped altissimo notes become slightly more clear and easy to articulate. These are my new reeds! I strongly recommend them.
Theese reeds are the perfect reed, they sound great right out of the box. They sound better than the traditional vandorens and they last longer to. These are the only reeds that I play on for marching and concerts.
I buy these for my daughter which is in high school band, she is extemely happy with them. These reeds have helped her play better then the other students, she highly recommends them. The price is the best,love doing business with The Brasswind & Woodwind.
I have played on the regular Vandoren reeds (3) for many years, and I always had a lot of trouble breaking the reeds in. I heard that the V12 reeds were outstanding for a lot of people, and I bought a package of them to see what they were like. Never in my entire life have I had an entire box of reeds be great reeds! I've seen 3 or 4 at the most be decent out of regular Vandoren reeds. I heard that these were a thicker cut of reed, and I bought the 2 1/2s. The tone of these reeds is astounding; the regular vandorens have a horribly bright sound compared to the V12s. The V12s have a beautiful dark tone, and they play very easily. I recommend these reeds to any clarinet player; professional or student. They are a little expensive, but for what they bring with them, they are really at a fantastic price.
I can always count on my V12 reeds to be great. Nearly every one of them has such warmth to its tone and needs very little breaking in. I think this is a great reed for any clarinetist that just wants to improve his tone. It seems that I can even have a reed broken in the night before a performance and still be fine the next day.
Ive been playing these reeds for 2 years and they are my main reeds for marching and concerts. I was really suprised in how long they lasted, 1 reed would last for about a week and a half. The only problem is that they dont come in 4/12, other than that, there great reeds.
These are amazing reeds.They have that perfect tone with a Vandoren B45 or a Selmer paris Crystal mouthpies. They have a very good classical tone that makes your try-out judge want to give you a chai. I use them for jazz, concert and marching and they make my tone a step above any other players in my band.
When I first bought these reeds, I was disappointed. I found it nothing different than the original Vandoren Traditional, only, a bit stiffer. However, when I got used to these reeds, I found my self keep saying 'Wow' in the middle of the piece I?m playing. The staccatos sound much less aggressive, and also, it produces 'dolce' sound. Overall, the V12 reeds boast their dark, warm and round sound, which is awesome when you are playing in the low register. I bought these reeds, because there were so many people unanimously agreeing that this is 'the best reed out there'. Well, I am not so sure about that, however I can admit that this is one of the best reeds on the market. Although the price of the V12 reeds gives you a royal pain, they play very well, and are great for concertos and solos.
I have been playing professionally for over two decades now. I play an R-13 with a Larry Combs (LC1) mouthpiece, the Vandoren Optimum ligature, and V-12 (size 5) reeds. These reeds require very little fixing compared to other brands, and, with proper care and maintenance, they last for a considerable amount of time. They are easy to fix and, with the use of rush and sometimes my knife, they can be manipulated into lasting for one more great performance. My private students all play on V-12 reeds -- of varying strengths. A final note, if you are not paying less than $21/box, then you are getting ripped off! WWBW has very competitive prices as do other online companies; you may just need to look outside your local music shop.
