V•12 reeds for Bb clarinet are manufactured from cane tubes with the same diameter as cane used for alto saxophone reeds. As a result, they have a thicker heel and are cut on a longer palette with a slightly thicker tip than the Traditional. The longer palette means that more of the reed is vibrating, resulting in a deeper, richer sound. The thicker tip gives body to the attack and also increases the longevity of the reed.
V.12 reeds are thicker at each end:
Thickness at the tip = .10mm (0.004 inch)
Thickness at the heel = 3.15mm (0.124 inches, hence the name V.12)
