January, 2011 Chicago, IL– It is said that nothing breeds success like success, and Vandoren has proven that true with the release of the new V12 reed for bass clarinet this year.

Following up on the success of the 3.5+ for Bb clarinet and the new V12 reed for Eb clarinet, the V12 bass clarinet fulfills requests from clarinetists around the globe for this wildly popular cut to be applied to the bass clarinet. Like the V12s for other clarinets, this cut produces a deeper, richer sound with more body to the attack and color to the tone.

“The V12 bass clarinet reeds have been consistently requested ever since we started applying this cut to instruments other than the Bb clarinet,” explained Jim Metz, DANSR marketing manager. “With this kind of demand, it’s no surprise that they were so popular at the ClarinetFest. They have the tonal color, sound and response that everyone loves with the unmatched quality and consistency only Vandoren can provide. We expect these reeds to make a lot of waves in the bass clarinet world over the next few months.”

The new Vandoren V12 bass clarinet reeds are currently available and can be ordered from any authorized Vandoren dealer.
