Dynamic, consistent and precise are just a few words used by musicians to describe the Vandoren 56 Rue Lepic clarinet reed. Using the finest thick French cane the 56 rue Lepic reed has a heel taper similar to German-style reeds. The 56 Rue Lepic reed provides a warm natural sound responsive across all registers.
