i put beginners on buffet E11's, Vandoren 5Rv-lyre mouthpieces, rovner dark ligatures, and start them on vandoren #3 reeds. works well for most of them.
when they hit high school, dump the high pitched (a442) e11 and upgrade to a R13.
carries got a good point - call up woodwind and brasswind ( wwbw.com ) - e11's are about $600 new, r13's under 1800 the last time i called. phone prices are cheaper than whats posted on the web. e.g, as of a few weeks ago, a pro horn (r13) was under $1800.
