Vandoren V21 Clarinet Reeds - Singles
Vandoren V21 Clarinet Reeds - Singles
Note: These are priced per reed. One of 'em.
Feel free to buy one reed, a few reeds, or mix strengths. I don’t charge a premium for breaking up the box.
These are a newer variety Vandoren produces. They are the child of the Rue 56 (which is a bit of a thicker cut of cane), and the V12 (which doesn't taper as much as the Rue 56 toward the butt of the reed). They 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-tenth of a normal box of 10 reeds. But you don't need to buy a box to get this discount!

Reed curious? You should be.

Like having the option to buy singles instead of a whole box
I ordered 4 vandoren v21 reeds. I only really need 4 at a time, as I am graduated and play on my own time. And a box of 10 for almost $40 was just… a bit much. These reeds are SO nice. Its like they gave me the best ones in a box of 10 lol. Also the packaging was very nice I was glad about that. Definitely worth purchasing reeds this way and I will for now on!
Though quite a mundane one, receiving a mix-and-match pack of single reeds without the price markup was a thrill! I am looking forward to trying all of the different Vandoren makes I didn't want to splurge on just to sample. Also, packaging was adorable.
I bought single reeds to test them out. My local store no longer offers single reeds. Good value for this purpose.
Very good
I like the warmth and clarity of this reed but if they have the strength of 3.25, I can't be happier.
I wanted to try some different reeds, and this was the only place that sold them by themselves, so I'm glad I didn't have to buy a whole pack just to try a few! It shipped fairly quickly and I got exactly what I ordered for a good price, so overall very good!
I purchased V12, V21, and Rue LePic 56 reeds to compare. The V21s were good but this point I preferred the Rue Lepics. But the weather will change tomorrow and who knows...
Service always excellent with Michael, I tried these and they are good, however so many years on V12's I'm still attached to my V12's, but the fact I didn't need a whole box to come to that conclusion is so nice.
Timely service and quality products
Piecemeal ordering: AWESOME! I agree with the other review: Mike is "amazeballs"! You offer the best products in the most practical and economical ways possible. THANK YOU!
Bought some gear for my students to try. Obviously, purchasing reeds piecemeal is a genius idea. You are "Amazeballs," Mike.
Love the site! Quick orders!
