clarinet gear set-up - beginner question

Author: PeteCT

Hi all - adult beginner here! Thanks to BBoard recommendations, my "family heirloom" R13 is currently awaiting its overhaul at Tim Moran's shop.

In the meantime, I'd like to order a new mouthpiece, ligature, and reeds. (The stuff in the case from 1957 is not in the best condition.)

I'm a beginner, so I need *forgiving*, but I'm not on a strict budget. I'm willing to spend a bit more for higher quality gear, even if I won't benefit from it immediately.

I've read many threads on this board and elsewhere. Here are some recommendations I collected, below. Would anyone add or subtract anything from this list?

Bottom line, what's a good quality beginner's set-up for the experienced musician (piano, guitar, bass)?

Mouthpieces:
Valdoren M13 Lyre
Clark Fobes Debut
Behn Overture

Ligatures:
Rovner Dark 1R ligature
Vandoren Optimum Ligature
Vandoren Leather Ligature

Reeds:
Valdoren blue package 2.5 / 3.0

Pete
