hey people! I`m kinda a noob at clarinet. Any tips? THanks! -Kerri

hmm. well, what do you need to know? I can try to help.

Well, like reed sizes. What size reed should I start with? And what brand?

Well, if your new, maybe a 1.5 or a 2. Rico. Rico is the cheaper kind. Don`t go with Van Doren till your around a year or so, unless your rich. :D


hey, how old are you?

Okay, thanks. I think I`ll go with Rico, on account of the fact that I`m NOT rich. Next question. Why cant I get anything but a squeak out of my clarinet? I am 14 years old. You?

Might be the way you are blowing into the clarinet. You have to do it just right! Put your teeth on the top, and your lower lip on the bottom and try it. Im 17.5
