WHAT CORRECT SIZE OF REEDS SHOULD I BUY ?
Strength is usually measured using a numeric scale that ranges from 1 (soft) to 5 (hard).Beginners usually start on a #1.5,#2 or #2.5 reed, and move up to a #3 as they gain ability and more muscle control. Advanced players typically use #3 to #4, depending on their choice of mouthpiece and individual preference.[citation needed] In general, players who use a mouthpiece with a wider tip opening will tend to use softer reeds, and those who choose a mouthpiece with a narrower tip opening will tend to use harder reeds.
