Hello forum members:
I am completing overhaul on Noblet clarinet posted here on 5-28-11.
I currently play on Yamaha 34 using Vandoren B45 mouthpiece with No. 2 1/2 reed.
The Noblet came with mouthpiece noted Accu-Rated by Arlie Richardson B 2 and a used No.2 reed.
My questions are :
Is moving up in reed strength a progression thru playing experience. When I started my teacher started me on a Rico No.2 and moved me to a Vandoren 2 1/2. Should I be thinking of trying a No.3?
Is reed strength different according to clarinet played. Example large bore etc.
I will be trying my Vandoren B45 with 2 1/2 on Noblet to see what I get but ask what you all think about the Arlie Richardson that it came with in comparison to the Vandoren mouthpiece.
Thank you
Rick
