ok I dont know if this is the right place to put this or not, but I recantly just got a new calrinet, and I was just wondering did I get a good deal or not. to me it looked nice, but I dont really know anything about it. its a yamaha 250 clarinet. can you tell me about this clarinet. like whats its best for. if its a good one or not.

Also I am looking for a new mouth piece because the one it came with was junk. there was a chip in it when I got it. (the calrinet above is new. the shipping people just handled my packge wrong.) So what I am asking is what is a good intermediate clarinet mouth piece that I should consider getting?

it's a student instrument. it will do anything any other student instrument will do, whether better or worse i don't know. if you want a decent mouthpiece, i'd recommend the Vandoren B45.

now will a vandoren mouth piece fit on a yamaha calrinet?

yes. unless you're using extremely vintage equipment, most parts for instruments are interchangeable. one mouthpiece should fit on virtually any modern clarinet. musical equipment has been standardized for this reason. for example, i can use my gigliotti mouthpiece on my Vito, my Noblet, or my Silva-bet(the silva-bet is vintage, so it's not a perfect fit. in this case, i'm getting my mouthpiece re-corked so that the cork will fit more snug inside the barrel.)

Would this be the same for vintage mouthpieces? Because I have my mom's antingue(yes, it is pretty antigue) wooden clarinet, and when I needed the mouhtpiece because mine broke, it didn'tt ft almost at all in my Vito clarinet, but fits fine in the old clarinet.

honestly, it depends on the mouthpiece/instrument. some might fit in modern horns, while some might not. modern mouthpiece might fit in some old horns but not in others.

you are retarded. quit spreading your extremely unfounded, extremely biased, extremely nonsensical lies. you can't even spell vandoren correctly. how can anyone consider your opinion even slightly valid? you know very, very little, if not nothing, about the clarinet.

guys lets not fight!!!!! Its HERRR opinion if she likes vandoren best. (even if she can't spell it) and I have I think its a vandoren b flat clarinet but I hate the vandoren reeds they're too hard to play on. personaly, I like Rico reeds smile their softer and don't hurt my mouth when I play on a new reed.

When will they learn?


if you want me to shut up...don't say anything smile . now, i'm sure you're smart enough to have figured out i don't say anything if nobody posts anything. why on earth would you post, telling me to "shut up" of all things, when you know that i will respond just to spite you? we may all be retarded, but as in everything, there are those of us which have excessive amounts of a certain trait. you, along with others, seem to have excessive amounts of retardation.

Your spelling is horrid, my dear.and quite frankly, vandoren reeds are not the best in the world. There are many other companies as well as private reed makers not in mass production.
