Vandoren: 56 Rue Lepic Bb Clarinet reed

Vandoren 56 Rue Lepic Bb Clarinet Reeds

Inspired by the tradition of German-style reed making, the 56 Rue Lepic reed is designed for players who seek focus, precision, and a rich, centered tone. Named after the location of Vandoren’s Paris workshop, this reed combines European-style craftsmanship with Vandoren’s modern expertise.

56 Rue Lepic reeds are cut from thick cane with a steeply tapered shape, similar to the French-filed German cut. This design offers excellent stability and tonal purity across the full range of the instrument. The result:

Rich, centered tone – focused sound that’s warm, full, and exceptionally stable
Highly stable and consistent – excellent control in all dynamics and registers
Refined articulation – quick, clean response with precision attack
Ideal for classical performance – perfect for solo, orchestral, and chamber playing

These reeds are especially favored by clarinetists who appreciate a darker, more focused sound profile, without sacrificing flexibility or response. The 56 Rue Lepic is a reed that rewards careful players with exceptional color and clarity.

Tip Thickness: 0.11mm (0.0043 inch)

Product Handling & Resale Notice

This product is manufactured exclusively by the original brand manufacturer and is distributed by ReedFinder as an independent reseller and service provider. For analysis, measurement, and recommendation purposes we open the manufacturer’s packaging. Where a manufacturer supplies reeds in individually sealed holders, those holders are opened as well; some manufacturers supply their reeds without individual seals. In either case the reeds remain new, unplayed, and structurally unmodified. Before dispatch we close the box with a ReedFinder hygiene seal. While that seal is intact the box can be returned within 14 days of delivery. Once the seal has been opened, the right of withdrawal expires for reasons of health protection and hygiene. ReedFinder may apply a small identification label solely for internal tracking and database purposes. The application of this label and the handling required for analysis do not alter the product’s materials, construction, or intended use. Products may be delivered either in the original manufacturer’s packaging or in protective distribution packaging used for organization and shipment. Manufacturer identity, product specifications, and responsibility remain with the original manufacturer.
