Vandoren: a rich legacy of top-tier reed making





Since its establishment in 1905, Vandoren has been all about family. Founder Eugene Van Doren led the company to great prosperity, solidifying Vandoren as a worldwide presence that specialized in reeds, mouthpieces, accessories, and more. Three generations later, Vandoren continues to make waves in the woodwind industry, with clarinet and saxophone reeds playing a critical role in the company's continued success. Vandoren reeds are constructed from cane grown right in their fields located in the south of France, with all waste material recycled through composting and other means. These high-quality reeds deliver an incredible response in all playing registers, warmer than other similar reeds while adding an unmistakable depth and clarity to your playing. Best of all, Vandoren reeds are available for the complete family of clarinets and saxophones, with a wide variety of strengths, cuts, and pack sizes to suit the needs of players of all skill levels.
