Re: Mouthpiece / Reed for Young Beginner

Beginners should, IMHO, start out with the Legere reeds, just to take the reed concern out of the equation, for a while until the student can learn to select and adjust reeds ...

I've found, for me, that the Rico Reserve reeds are "tubby" and unresponsive ... and the use of chemicals on cane scares me ... (I've recently gone to a Vegan diet, trying to eliminate much of the dangerous crap that is added to our daily food ... so far, so good, lab numbers are very encouraging, and cut meds in half, so far ...).

For a mostly trouble-free cane reed, the Pilgerstorfer Dolce works well, and with the MPs I've mentioned. I have no idea if this company uses chemicals ... hope not!
