 Information About Reeds To Use
By Steven
There are a lot of good reviews regarding reeds and Rico reeds specifically. Instead of just telling you how good the Rico #2 reed is I will give a review and address questions when it comes to reeds in general. First is what reed do you use first? If you are already playing then you probably already know that answer. If you are a professional then you have that answer too. If you are just beginning then this will support you. I went to Rico themselves and spoke with an expert so I could give you the selective information you needed. Personally, the Rico #1 1/2 is a outstanding place to get started as one reviewer has already mentioned. If you played before, put your clarinet away and are starting back as I am. I used to use a 3 1/2 Mitchell Lurie which is made by Rico as the expert told me. Then there is the new Plasticover reeds which are made with both cane and plastic and they taste terrible…YUCK!…lol. The plastic reeds are outstanding for the outside such as marching band. I wish I had them when I was in the marching band 30 years ago. So what do you do when there are so a good deal of types out there. One reviewer noted the Rico 2 is a good place to commence and I would agree, but if you are beginning get started with a 1 1/2 it will be requiring little effort to blow air through and one other thought I bet you didn’t know was that Benny Goodman, very famous playing the clarinet used a 1 1/2. I would likewise tell you not to buy too galore and do not forget because you may not be capable to send them back for hygiene purposes. In the Rico family they begin with the regular Rico, then Royal, Reserve, Select Jazz, Grand Concert, for outside the Plasticover. Remember all of those words had Rico in front of them. They likewise go up in cost the better the reed is. That brings me to my next thought. Reeds are very personal. It depends on what you are playing, Marching band, Classical, or Jazz. What kind of tone you want. My recommendation is to try them all if you may and with that you will find the reed that you like. Rico also makes the Mitchell Lurie as I stated and the Mitchell Lurie Premium. The Vandoren reed is just like the regular Rico reed according the expert I was speaking of. I personally have not tried the Vandoren Reed. I suppose I will in the future just to see for myself. I hope this has helped and not made things too confusing. Buy the fewest you may and if it is for school band the Regular Rico Reed 1 1/2 or 2 is just fine and as you get better you may be overwhelmed just as I was with all the other reeds out there. Good Luck and get enjoyment from the beauty of music. Let me recognise if I may aid further and feel free to check out my other reviews and a good deal of are in regards to the clarinet and in video too.

Rico Bb clarinet Reeds
By Pony Rider
I play clarinet, and highly recomend Rico reeds because they don’t crack or snap easily. If you are a beginner at Clarinet, buy the 2 size 10 pack of reeds. Most persons may use that size. Very good, after a year I still have a lot of reeds left. I highly recomend these.
