A few weeks ago Vandoren shocked the clarinet world by entering the Synthetic Reed market with their new VK1 Clarinet Reed. While they have not yet been made available for a wide release, I was able to head up to their NYC Musician Advisory Studio to pick up some for this review! Side note: I'm sorry I wasn't able to test them out against other synthetic reeds such as Legere, Silverstein or D'Addario. If you are interested in hearing those comparisons, let me know and I'll see if I can make it happen!
