Detail 01
Medium hard strength
More resistance under the embouchure. Fuller tone and steadier high notes, but you work harder to sound it.

La VozBb Clarinet Reeds Medium Hard Box of 10
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A box of 10 cane reeds for Bb clarinet in medium-hard strength. For players with a settled embouchure who want more resistance than a middle strength gives.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Students moving past softer reeds with developing embouchure strength
- Players wanting firmer response in the upper register
- Keeping a stocked box so a chipped reed isn't a crisis
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners in the first months — medium-hard will feel stiff
- Alto or tenor sax players; these are Bb clarinet only
- Players who need a specific numbered strength to match a setup
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Cane reed
Natural material, so each reed in the box plays slightly differently. Expect to sort favorites from duds.
Detail 03
Box of 10
Enough to rotate several reeds across days, which makes each one last longer than playing one to death.
Detail 04
Bb clarinet cut
Sized and profiled for Bb soprano clarinet. Won't fit bass clarinet or saxophone mouthpieces.
Detail 05
Unfiled/traditional cane
Response depends heavily on your mouthpiece facing. A reed that's stiff on one mouthpiece may be right on another.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Reeds only — no mouthpiece, ligature, or reed case included
- 02New cane reeds need wetting and a few break-in sessions before they settle
- 03Strength isn't standardized across brands; medium hard here may not match another brand
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What number strength is medium hard?
La Voz uses named strengths rather than numbers. Medium hard sits above medium and below hard, roughly in the 3 to 3.5 range on numbered scales.
02Will these fit my bass clarinet?
No. These are cut for Bb soprano clarinet. Bass clarinet takes a larger reed.
03How long does a reed last?
Depends on playing time and rotation. Rotating between several reeds rather than using one daily stretches the life of each considerably.
04Should I start with medium hard?
Only if your embouchure is already developed. Newer players usually find medium hard too stiff to control and tire quickly.
