Vandoren Expands VK1 Range with Baritone Saxophone Reeds
Vandoren announces the release of VK1 Synthetic Reeds for Baritone Saxophone, marking the latest addition to the VK saxophone family alongside Alto and Tenor.
Following the successful launch of VK1 reeds across the clarinet range and for Alto and Tenor Saxophone, the introduction of Baritone Saxophone further expands the VK offering for saxophonists—bringing the same innovative material technology and consistent performance to lower voices within the section.
Developed over seven years, the VK reed is made from an exclusive high-performance composite, engineered to replicate the acoustic properties of natural cane. The result is a reed that feels familiar under the embouchure while delivering exceptional stability and reliability.
The VK1 cut for Baritone Saxophone offers a rich, centred tone with strong projection and dependable articulation throughout the full range of the instrument. Each reed is designed for consistency, ensuring reliable performance from one reed to the next.
Performance benefits of VK1 reeds include:
- Exceptional consistency from reed to reed
- Reliable articulation and projection across the full range
- Immediate response with no preparation required
- High resistance to temperature and humidity changes
- Durable, long-lasting construction that maintains shape over time
- Easy to clean and suitable for sanitisation
Ready to play straight from the box, VK reeds require no soaking and are highly resistant to changes in temperature and humidity. Durable and long-lasting, they can also be rinsed or sanitised making them ideal for professional, educational, and doubling musicians.
Manufactured at Vandoren’s facility in Bormes-les-Mimosas, Southern France, VK1 Baritone Saxophone reeds reflect the brand’s ongoing commitment to precision and innovation.
With the addition of Baritone Saxophone, Vandoren continues to grow its VK1 saxophone range—offering players a modern synthetic solution across Alto, Tenor, and now Baritone.
With an SRP of £43.20, Vandoren VK1 Baritone Saxophone reeds are available to order now through UK and Ireland distributors Barnes & Mullins at www.bandm.co.uk
