Re: Beginner mouthpiece/reeds

Great points,

As a relative beginner myself (actually returning after a 40 year gap) I have learnt that a good instrument e.g. Buffet or Yamaha student models are a safe bet.

I am not so well up on MP's but think a 4c is not a disaster to begin with. A 1.5 reed should never be used IMO start with a 2 then build to a 2.5.

I started on a B&H and other new Chinese models but these should be avoided like the plague. I wonder how many new students have been put off from the start by having the wrong instrument or an instrument which is leaking? A lot if the number of these used instruments on the internet and charity shops is to go by.

I wish I had some more advice at the start so making my expensive mistakes could have been avoided

Good luck!
