Named after the address of the Vandoren headquarters, the 56 Rue Lepic series is the latest addition to the well-established range of Vandoren reeds. Designed from thicker cane with a heel taper very similar to German-style reeds, the 56 rue Lepic emits a rich, centred, and extremely pure sound while providing maximum stability and a quick response in all registers.

Strength gradations are smaller and more specific, resulting in reeds that are very consistent.
