collapse expand iconDescription

The 56 rue Lepic clarinet reed is designed from thicker cane to emit a rich, centered, and extremely pure sound while providing maximum stability in all registers. Its quick response ensures precision in the most difficult passages with extraordinarily round and warm sound. They come in humidity-balanced factory fresh packaging so all reeds play as if you selected them in Paris at 56 rue Lepic.

56 rue Lepic, the home of Vandoren, has long been the home of reed innovation. It seems only fitting that this next-step reed bear the name of such a significant location.

Thickness at the tip: 0.0043" (.11mm)

    56s cleared up my sound and work great. They were a bit too hard for me but with some minor sanding they played great. They are hard to come across as none of the stores in my area carry it in stock. Worth the extra cost. Best for solos and other clarinet-heavy pieces.
