Subj: Vade-Mecum 6 Special Studies Question
Date: Sun, 31 Mar 1996 21:09:25 -0500

Hi!

I'm working on exercise #3 (work for the right hand) in the JeanJean =
Vade-Mecum 6 special studies. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether =
I should play the middle B with my right hand wherever possible? =
Sometimes its marked which specific key the exercise wants me to use =
like for F# and A# but it says nothing about the B. Half the time, it =
would be easier to play on the left but since the exercise is for the =
right hand, I figure I should play it on the right. ??

Also, I use Mitchell Lurie Reeds size 5 and I'd like to try some =
different reeds out but I'm not sure what strengths to get. I've browsed =
through the database and agree with some of the comments that ML's do =
not last long although I can use a lot of them per box. I'd like to try =
the Vandoren V12. Any others I should try? (I use a Hite M41 =
mouthpiece)

Thanks for any feedback.
