The Vandoren "Traditional" Reference: A Worldwide Standard
Played by generations of clarinetists, Vandoren Traditional reeds have established themselves as a reliable choice thanks to their consistency and distinctive sound identity. The brand, known for its manufacturing rigor, selects and processes cane from Mediterranean reed beds to ensure stable quality from one reed to another.
For Which Musician and Styles?
These reeds are suitable for both intermediate and advanced players seeking a versatile reed. They are particularly well-suited for repertoires requiring clear articulation (classical, wind band/brass band, contemporary music), while remaining comfortable in both legato and staccato playing.
Sound and Design
Made from natural cane, the Traditional reed favors a balanced vibration to facilitate interval transitions and projection. The tip thickness (the thinnest area, in contact with the mouthpiece) and the heel thickness (the thicker base, near the ligature) are designed to provide a reliable response, with a clear sound and good presence.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve your reeds, a reed case in bass clarinet format (with individual holding) is recommended, as well as a humidity control solution dedicated to reeds if you play in very dry or very humid environments.
