Vandoren

Vandoren is a French maker of reeds, mouthpieces, ligatures and accessories for clarinet and saxophone players. Founded in 1905, the brand is particularly known for its cane reeds, with ranges covering different instruments, reed strengths and playing preferences.

Its reed families include Traditional, JAVA, ZZ and 56 Rue Lepic. Traditional reeds are available for both clarinet and saxophone, while JAVA and ZZ are saxophone ranges and 56 Rue Lepic is a B-flat clarinet range. Vandoren also makes leather and metal ligatures, protective caps and reed-storage accessories.

Across MyGear’s partner retailers, 509 Vandoren products are currently in stock, priced from £6 to £543. The selection spans replacement reeds and small accessories through to higher-priced mouthpieces and ligatures, placing the brand primarily in specialist woodwind consumables and components rather than complete instruments. Listings appear within the cases and bags, flutes and clarinets, saxophones, and parts and spares categories.
