- We need to know what mouthpiece and tip opening you plays and how you want to change the sound and feel of blowing.
- We test the mouthpiece with Woodstone 2 1/2 reed before shipment.I usually recommend Vandoren ZZ or Vandoren Java 2 1/2 as Woodstone is relatively hard to find.
Having said that, I have seen so many good results with so many other reeds and strength, so I recommend you to try various kinds of reeds to find the best set-up.
- Tip opening means the distance between the reed and the tip of the mouthpiece. In general, the bigger the tip opening, the more the reed vibrates and the more resistance increases. All manufacturers use different opening numbering systems. Please see our tip opening comparison chart to find your best tip opening.
