Re: Beginner mouthpiece/reeds

Please keep us posted regarding your impressions regarding the Behn Overture. I've been curious about this mouthpiece.

+1 on the Mitchell Lurie suggestion by kdk. They respond so easily and predictably as to be a great confidence builder for beginning students. Better still, they're so much more consistent than anything from Vandoren. The last couple boxes of Luries I went through had 10 out of 10 good reeds.

The only knock on these continues to be that they don't last very long. This isn't much of a concern for youngsters who chip and crack reeds before they wear out, though.

When it's time to think about marching band gear, the Fibracell synthetic reeds deserve consideration.
