Vandoren VK Synthetic Bb Clarinet Reed

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

This composite material does not imitate the structure of the reed. It reproduces the essential physical characteristics of the reed to obtain the same acoustic behavior.

There are six Vandoren VK strengths available. All strengths fall between 2.5-3.5 traditional reed strength.

The VK strengths correspond to subdivisions by thirds of the usual half strengths, see the chart to the left for comparison.

The VK reeds strengths corresponds to sixths of cane reed strength

The VK reed is currently only available for Clarinet.
