Who the CR1235 Bass Clarinet Reed Is For
The Vandoren CR1235 is a Traditional-cut bass clarinet reed in strength 3.5 designed for players who want reliable response throughout the instrument’s registers and a clear, centered sound. It suits a wide range of musical styles, and it is commonly chosen by advancing students, serious amateurs, and professionals who prefer a slightly firmer reed strength for stability and control.
Traditional reeds are known for strong response across the range, including the ability to start soft attacks cleanly in the upper register. The cut’s flexibility supports smooth legato and clean staccato when moving through large intervals, while preserving the body and clarity that many players associate with Vandoren’s Traditional profile.

Strength 3.5 is typically preferred by players who want a firmer feel and added stability, especially with supportive air and a well-matched mouthpiece facing. If you are between strengths, your mouthpiece and embouchure efficiency often determine whether 3.0 or 3.5 is the better fit.
