Re: Mouthpiece / Reed for Young Beginner

I'm soooo DEADLY against Rico/D'Addario reeds, same company. They use pesticides on ALL of their reeds.

Here is a list of some of the other chemicals found on their reeds, some are cancer causing. Dichlorethhyane, benzene, methyl bromide, trimethylbemzene, and even toluene. Plus an assortment of pesticides. WHY??? The company that did this analysis was Atmospheric Analysis & Consulting, INC. Most of you probably have never heard of these chemicals. It doesn't matter. What matters is these should not be on reeds and in the mouths of kids or adults.

Keep these away from kids. As adults you can make the decisions if you wish to play on them yourselves, but don't subject young 9 year old kids to them. It's just WRONG!

I can write this and not get sued because Rico uses pesticides. It's that simple. Do they care? Call them up and ask them.
