 E flat Clarinet Equipment Change!
Author: xpedx7342

I have recently volunteered to play it in my Wind Symphony (high school). I am the principal clarinet. However, how is the setup different? Do I need a different mouthpiece and reeds? My ligature, the Vandroren Klassik can mold to any mouthpiece.

hahaha its alot smaller, this is my second year on the instrument, its not as fun as you think xD. Squeaky little thing. But yes, its different mouthpiece and reeds. Personally I found that I needed a higher strength reed on the Eb. I play on a 3 for Bb and 3.5 for Eb (vandoren).

The reed strength is also dependent (very much co) on the mouthpiece you are using. It probably has more to do with the MP you are using than that you are plating an eefer.
