Vandoren V21 Bass Clarinet Reeds - Singles
Vandoren V21 Bass Clarinet Reeds - Singles
Note: These are priced per reed. One of 'em. (Not a box. Though you're welcome to buy 5 of them, and I may just throw in the box for free)
These are a newer variety Vandoren produces. They are not especially finicky, but they do require breaking in slowly. I use these kind of interchangeably with the V12, which has a similar shape, but are slightly less thick at the heel. V21 reeds are typically are about 1/2-strength harder than the traditional cut (the "blue box") so take that into consideration.
Feel free to buy single reeds—I don't charge a premium for breaking up a box, so you can just buy a few, or mix and match. Seriously no one else does this.
For those doing math, I price these reeds as one-fifth of a normal box of 5 reeds. But you don't need to buy a box to get this discount!

The V 21 Vandoren bass clarinet reeds are just excellent. I tried Both the V 12 & V21 and found the V12 to be less a bit less responsive & resonant than the V 21.
The V21 has the same tapered cut as the Bb’s 56 Rue Lepic, which are my go to reeds for soprano clarinet.
“The Bb clarinet V21 reed combines the shape of a 56 rue lepic reed with a V•12 profile.”
In my opinion, the best of two worlds!
I get stronger tone and wider range with the V21 on my bass clarinet. My band instructor says I've never played better!
V21's bass clarinet reeds size 2.5 enabled me to get out the tricky bass clarinet clarion register with ease- something that I needed to do for an upcoming concert. Cheers!
I have only played V12, so I decided to try the V21, and I like them interchangeably for different playing situations. I love being able to buy only a few at a time!
Great reeds!
