Make sure you get the right strength

2.5 - 3 strength is good for beginner

Lower strength are easier to use

I personally like the 2.0 strength reeds for my clarinet because I find other strengths too flat or just simply too hard to play

Also, I haven't played for 20 years and it was a good strength to start again..

they are the right strength and size.

Actually the #2 strength is better for me being a beginner than the 2.5 my clarinet came with.

This was the brand and strength recommended by her band teacher.
