Re: Mouthpiece / Reed for Young Beginner

Thank you for all the suggestions. Sounds like the M13 Lyre would work fine, but I may go ahead and order a Forbes anyway. In either case, I need to get her some slightly heavier reeds, as I had picked up a couple of 1.5 Ricos assuming she’d be playing with the more open tip MP.

And Karl, yes... her getting frustrated is definitely a concern I am looking out for, as this particular child is very prone to it. She already reads music well, is a fast learner, and is doing great on piano and violin, but she has difficulty covering the holes on the clarinet. We’ve only played a couple of times, but she doesn’t make good progress on that in the next few sessions, we’ll wait until she grows a bit more.
