Re: Beginner mouthpiece

Thanks for that.

Maybe I should just persevere with the B45 and build up my lip strength, rather than get used to the cheaper mouthpiece. I'll keep trying it.

Reed wise, I didn't know that there were different shapes, just different thicknesses. The Vandoren 2 1/2 just feels like a slice of granite right now, whereas the cheaper Rico feels nice.

I know youngsters start with thinner reeds, I just though as an adult I'd be fine with a slightly heavier one like a 2 1/2 or even 3, I was wrong about that too.
