Everyone is telling me to get a beginner clarinet just make sure I have a good mouthpiece and reed. So what is good?

Dawn,

Dee's comments are spot on.

I started my daughter on a Vandoren B45 with a Mitchell Laurie #2.5. This combination worked well for her first year. I now believe the Hite Premier is a little friendlier (and cheaper) for the new student, but either mouthpiece works well. Both the Mitchell Laurie or Rico Royals #2.5 will produce reasonable results for a beginner. Chose the one "you" like the best.
