Hey everyone. I found this great and cheap site for buying reeds. I don't know what kinds of reeds you all play but I play on Mitchell Lurie 3 1/2! When I would go my local music store and purchase 10 reeds they would cost me around $20. However, this site I got 20 reeds for what I would pay for 10 at my music store. I also bought a new mouth piece, ligature, and some basic cork grease and it ended up being a pretty good deal. I have been playing my clarinet for about 8 years now and this is the first time I have even played with a mouth piece and ligature that didn't come with my clarinets. I ordered the Vandoren B45 Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece and Vandoren L901 Bb Clarinet Nickel Ligature and my tone on my clarinet greatly improved. I couldn't believe how different I sound with my new purchases. Just thought I would share this site with you, because it really is an awesome site. Hopefully my next bug purchase will be a new clariner but we will have to see. What do you think is the best clarinet?? I currentely have a Wood Selmer CL 200 that I have had for 5 years and I think that it is time for me to upgrade. What do you think would be the best clarinet to buy?? I would LOVE to get a Buffet! I love the way they sound.. what do you think??

Anyways, here is the site link...

If you have any other questions, just let me know!!

Also I was wonderig if anyone could tell me how you determine what "grade" you are. I have never heard of it, and I saw it on this site a lot. So any help would be great....

Don't I feel dumb... lol

Hi blondie,

Musiciansfriend is an American website - they don't seem to ship to the UK. I'm sure they're a very useful source of reeds for people living the US though.

For more information on grades see here: http://www.abrsm.org/?page=exams/gradedMusicExams

Your grade is supposed to be a reflexion of your ability, based on the exams you've taken on a particular instrument. Perhaps this is purely a British thing which is why you've not heard of it.

You realise that this forum is part of the ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music)? Hence the British perspective. Not that you're not welcome of course!
