Vandoren’s Traditional Bb Clarinet reeds—popularly known as the Blue Box—are the most widely played clarinet reeds in the world. They are cut from premium French cane and feature a very thin tip paired with a solid heart to deliver a pure, centered tone with crisp articulation. The French‑filed cut and even tip give these reeds excellent response in every register and allow pianissimo attacks in the highest notes. Highly flexible, they handle legato or staccato passages across large intervals while maintaining a rich sound that has both body and clarity. Vandoren individually seals each reed in a flow‑pack wrapper for freshness.
