Re: J&D Hite D mouthpiece

Hi Bob,

Thanks, that's really great to know that I am on the right track. I have been playing the Hite mouthpiece for about 8 months now, and I really like it. I live cycling distance from a really great woodwind shop and they let me try a whole tray of mouthpieces, with lots of Vandoren ones and Selmer, and several other brands. The Hite one was clearly much less resistant and produced a lovely sound for me (I realise that this varies from person to person, so it may just be me).

I've changed clarinet since I bought the mouthpiece, but I went back and tried the whole tray again and I still fit best by far with this one mouthpiece.

It's great to know that you are okay with beginners using plastic reeds. I just had my first lesson today since trying the plastic reed and my teacher was really pleased at how much progress I had made. I'm even playing much much better on cane reeds, for having practised on the plastic reed.

Yay!

Jen
