Vandoren Synthetic reed VK1 Bass clar 3

The new VK reed is made of a composite material specially developed by Vandoren. It is the result of 7 years of research.

This composite fiber material does not imitate the structure of cane. It reproduces its essential physical characteristics to obtain the same acoustic behavior. The VK reed is available in 6 strengths, corresponding to subdivisions divided by 3 of usual half-strengths of cane reeds. The VK reed strengths correspond to a 1/6 of a cane reed strength.

Features:

• The advantages of this synthetic reed
