Clarinet reed strenght and brand help.?
I’m currently using regular vandoren # 2.5, I used to use rico # 3, but decided to buy 2.5 for vandoren because according to this reed strenght chart, a 2.5 in vandoren is a #3 in rico.(actually i think it’s 3.5?)
I’m planning on purchasing another box of reed, particularly vandoren but another type. I’m thinking of buying the rue lepic ones(I heard the V12s are good too), but I’m not sure. I want a fuller and darker tone.. somewhat eerie and deep. (if that helps)
So which brand would you recommend?
Oh and should I step up to a #3.5 or just stay at 3?(I can play up to the high G){been playing the clarinet for almost a year.. about 3/4 done on rubank’s intermediate method}
Thanks.
I first started with a rico 1 1/2, then my teacher reccomended me to use a #3 rico… then i switched to vandoren 2.5…
err.. yeah
Well the rue lepic and V12 ones are vandoren brands as well.. 
omg i play the clarinet too!
i heard that there is a new plastic reed i have never tried it though. they are supposed to last like really long but it cost like ten bucks.
i use vandoren also. i think they are really good. i play at a 3.
if you are used to vandoren then i would stick with them.
the plastic reeds are supposed to be really good for marching band because reeds are easy to break.
personally i like vandoren. i can get a really deep tone out of it and also i can get really high on them too and they don’t break easily for me.
you can also make your sound deeper by kind of opening your mouth a little. but not all the way off of course.
and you can tell if your need to go up if playing is like really really really easy
by the way i have been playing for almost four years.
well good luck
