First, I would like to let you know the music industries are the largest they have ever been. Contrary to the doom and gloom predicted by the press, it is only the plastic jewel cases for CDs that are declining in numbers and some very public copyright lawsuits that reflect some archaic business structures in the industries. Secondly, it might be good news to you that now is the easiest time to

In addition to our offer on Legere Reeds, here is an article written by staff member Thomas Dryer-Beers specifically about synthetic reeds. ****************************** Whenever two or more single reed players chat in rehearsal or on a gig, one subject is bound to arise…we all know the moan, I’m pretty sure we all have thought the thought at least once:- If we can send a man to the moon/

Play all instruments with a mouthpiece and reed that you know well. Too many variables make attempting comparisons a nonsense. Take along or have in mind some music you are familiar with of the type you wish to play - be prepared. If you know the technique of over-blowing octaves and twelfths use this to see whether the isntrument is 'in tune with itself'. Alternatively find a reliable 'fixed

At Wood, Wind and Reed we see a lot of young players with all the enthusiasm to play an instrument, but unable to because they are too small to handle the weight or size of it. For clarinettists the solutions are the Amati or Lyons C clarinets, for flautists there are curved head joints or the Jupiter Prodigy flutes, horn players - kinder horns, bassoonists - mini bassoons. But for young aspiring
