VENN: the "hybrid" innovation by D'Addario
With the VENN range, D'Addario offers an original approach: layering polymer fibers of different stiffnesses, binding them with resin, and incorporating particles of Provence cane. The goal is clear: to combine the longevity and consistency of a synthetic reed with the tone color and playability that clarinetists love in cane reeds.
For which clarinetists and playing contexts?
This reed is aimed at intermediate to professional clarinetists seeking a reliable reed for daily use, both in rehearsal and on stage. It is also well suited for outdoor performances (marching band, wind orchestra, events) where weather conditions can make cane reeds more unpredictable.
Sound and design
The VENN targets a rich and warm timbre, with a clear attack and consistent response across all registers. The polymer structure provides a sensation of controlled flexibility, while the resin contributes to better stability against conditions that quickly affect a natural reed. The result: a more consistent response and appreciable stability from reed to reed.
Recommended compatible accessories
To protect your reed between sessions, a clarinet reed guard (Bb clarinet size) is highly recommended to avoid tip damage and keep the table clean.
