 playing high notes with 2 1/2 strength reed?
Author: sab15

Hi,

I bought 2 1/2 strength reeds to start off with as a beginner. Should I or shouldn't I be able to play high notes with these? I'm able to get a B out and barely a C. Anything above that I can't seem to play.

Also, in line with the same question, when I play lower notes like low E through C the sound is pretty smooth. When I play D and continue moving higher to E, F, G, and A and B Flat the sound is more fuzzy than the lower notes. Could this be the reed also, or is it just me as a beginner? This is a Selmer wooden CL201 by the way (brand new).

Thanks.

Steven
