The Vandoren "Blue Box": A Lasting Reference
The Traditional series (often nicknamed the "blue box") is among Vandoren's most well-known models. Designed and manufactured from carefully selected cane, these reeds rely on historic expertise: from cane cultivation to machining, Vandoren controls every step to ensure great consistency and a recognizable sound identity.
For Which Musician and Styles?

They are intended for both intermediate and advanced players looking for a quick response on piccolo clarinet.
Response, Tone, and Playing Sensation
