<< This is for those teachers, when you teach your student, at presumbly
young
age around 15 or so, would you recomend for that student to experiment so to
speak, with reeds and so forth? Will this get in the way of the teaching?
Just a simple question, but i thankyou greatly for the responses in advance!

I'm 16 and I get lessons. I think it's worthwhile that teachers at least the
importance of a good reed and how to create good reeds. I've learned a lot
from my lessons about the importance of reeds, and when he showed me how to
make a good reed, it made it easier for me to blow through the horn. Now I
never have reed problems and it's a lot fun playing on good reeds rather than
crappy stuffy ones. My teacher does all of my reeds for me using a thing
called The Reed Wizard. It's the best piece of equipment I know, and it costs
around $200. If anyone tested this I'm pretty sure they'll offer it to any
student they have. By using this, I learned what tone quality was and how the
reed made differences on the playing. So any teacher should spend at least
some time talking to their student about reeds.
