Reeds
Happy Tuesday all and hope your week is going well so far! I wanted to post a tip on reeds and what reed to start out with.
There are all types of strengths of reeds and they range:
👉1.5 (thinnest)
👉2.0
👉2.5
👉3.0
👉3.5+
They increase in .5 to 5.0 being the thickest and hardest to play. There are many brands like:
✔️Rico
✔️Vandoren
✔️D'Adarrio
✔️Legere (synthetic)
The brand at this point really doesn't matter just depends on how much you are willing to spend in the beginning stages. My advice would be:
✅Start 1.5 - 2.5 Rico
Rico brand is more economical for beginning students and those strengths are the easiest when first starting to figure out your sound and your embouchure set up. Starting out doesn't have to be fancy or expensive, it just has to be functional.
