I am having leakage around the reed on my lower lip. I have tried a few thing and works sometimes , any suggestion. Are there site to tell mouth piece dimensions.

There are a number of different critical dimensions to a mouthpiece than just the tip opening and facing length which are found in the popular comparison charts.

Here is one such chart - hardly comprehensive, with a few approximate comparisons:

Just starting out? I had this for a few months, too.

You'll get more secure after a few more weeks - promise.

For right now, try a more flexible reed (same maker), 1/4 to 1/2 number less. (Higher #s do NOT make you a better player...)
