Vandoren, a renowned French manufacturer, controls the entire production process to offer reeds with reliable behavior, suitable both for daily practice and ensemble settings. ### A reed designed to help you progress... and play anywhere At **strength 3**, the Vandoren **CR103** is especially aimed at **intermediate to advanced clarinetists** seeking a responsive, stable reed that is easy to control. It is very well suited for **classical** music (dynamics, intonation, articulation), but also feels at home in **jazz**, **pop**, or **marching band** contexts whenever projection and a clear attack are needed. ### Response, timbre, and cut: the Vandoren "Traditional" balance The Traditional profile combines a **thin tip** (quick vibration) with a **thicker heart** (sound stability and density). In practice, this results in a clear emission, good homogeneity across registers, and a satisfying sense of control, even at low dynamics. The specified thicknesses (tip and heel) contribute to this balance between response flexibility and stability. ### Recommended compatible accessories To preserve your reeds and stabilize their behavior, a **reed case** for storage and a **Bb clarinet swab** to reduce residual moisture after playing are two simple and effective choices. ## Technical Specifications ### Type - Product: Reed - Range: Vandoren Traditional ("blue box") ### Strength - Strength: 3 ### Cut - Profile: Traditional (thin tip and thicker heart) - Visual marker: horizontal line delimiting the scraping zone of the bark ### Compatibility - Instrument: Bb Clarinet ### Miscellaneous - Material: Cane - Tip thickness: 0.09 - Heel thickness: 2.80 - Quantity: box of 10 reeds - Packaging: flow-pack (protection against humidity variations) *Product subject to a specific withdrawal right: for hygiene reasons, if the product has been opened, it must be free of any signs of use to be refunded or exchanged.* Brand reference number: AVD CR103 MANUFACTURER INFORMATION Read more Close ## Related Accessories OTHER MUSICIANS HAVE ALSO PURCHASED FOLLOWING THE EQUIPMENT! ![VANDOREN TRADITIONAL 2.5 - SR2125](/images/photo_wb.jpg) favorite_border Vandoren TRADITIONAL 2.5 - SR2125 42.50 €! or!
