"56 Rue Lepic": an iconic reed in the Vandoren universe
This series pays tribute to Vandoren's historic Parisian address. Made from selected cane, with a revised conicity to optimize vibration, it follows the house tradition: complete control of production, numerous shaping steps, and valorization of cane waste (as fertilizer or fuel) in a more eco-responsible approach.
For which musician and styles?
Ideal for intermediate to advanced clarinetists seeking a stable and homogeneous reed. Its response and timbral richness are particularly suited to classical, orchestra, chamber music, but also to pop when a round and centered sound is desired.
Sound and design
The 56 Rue Lepic stands out with a woody timbre, a clean projection, and a secure response. The narrower strength grading aims for a consistent playing feel from one reed to another. Tip thickness 0.11 mm and heel 3.25 mm: a profile designed for endurance and stability.
Recommended compatible accessories
To preserve response and lifespan, a Bb clarinet reed case (clarinet format) is recommended.
