REEDS

All clarinet players need to have THREE working reeds at all times. One or two small chips are acceptable but any more plus cracks, molding, or any other damage will render the reed useless and must be destroyed. Reeds need to be dried out after each use by putting them in the reed case otherwise molding will occur. The average age of a reed is around three weeks or a month. Below are trusted reeds for the clarinet.  The reed strength need to be 3 but as students get more advanced they will use 3.5 and 4.
