:i'm fairly new to the clarinet, i have a new vito and an armstrong (wood,
made
:in 70 something) i play on a stock mouthpiece and usually use vandoren 3
:1/2's. does anyone have any advice for beginners???

Well, the stock mouthpiece may be OK for now, but consider buying a new one
(Vandoren B45's are a very general one). Also, maybe chaneg your reeds to
2.5's or 3's. 3.5's are awfully strong for a beginner.
