V12 reeds are manufactured from cane tubes of the same diameter as those used for saxophone reeds. This leads to a higher manufacturing cost, as large diameter cane is more rare. V-12 reeds are thicker at each end:
Thickness at the Tip: .10mm (0.004 inch)
Thickness at the Heel: 3.15mm (0.124 inch, hence the name V.12)
In comparing strength, a V.12 strength 4 reed is almost equal to a Traditional strength 3 1/2 strength reed.
Strengths: 2 1/2, 3, 3 1/2, 3 1/2+,4, 4 1/2, 5, 5+
