I'm from a small town in the middle of West Virginia. The music programs
here are very poor. We were never taught about what reeds to use and how
valuable mouthpieces are. Luckily one of us, being me, really cared about it
and developed some common sense. I use what works for me, rather than turn
it into who can make sound from the hardest reed contest. They have also
never paid for a mouthpiece. They use the ones that came with their
clarinets. I on the other hand wanted to sound good, so I paid 90 dollars
for a good one. Actually, I've bought more than one, but I have to supply
myself with mouthpieces for Bb, Eb, and alto clarinets, and alto, tenor, and
baritone saxophones. I think I've learned the value of these. Especially
with buying a bari sax mouthpiece, so I take good care of mine.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if I came to school tomorrow to find out they
all died. Nail polish is definately not a healthy thing to have in your
mouth. Yes, they pain the whole outside of the mouthpiece. Even the part
that goes in their mouth!
