looking for clarinet reeds

[Dorothy Wood]

I can't seem to come up with a search for where I could buy reeds in the city. I keep getting online sales...but I need to get some today! at a real life store!

any band nerds in here who might be able to give me some key words?

so they sell that stuff at guitar center?

[Dorothy Wood]

nevermind, I found a place.

[jackrock]

Bah. I hated the clarinet. Reeds taste like shit too.

[Bob]

[jackrock]

haha. You have to suck on them though.

[Mr. Boomin'Granny]

That's what she said.

I found them at a place called The Music Store. no wonder I couldn't google it. it was a store front piled with junk and there was a dude playing drums in the front window. they had 2 reeds. I am pleased with my purchase. yay!

I'm gonna play a guitar solo on my clarinet for charity. it's gonna be so hot.

How much to reeds cost these days? I quit playing decades ago.

and yeah, any music store should carry that shit. but yeah, clarinet is totally lame. you can't hear that shit unless its in a jazz band and you're sydney bechet

haha. You have to suck on them though.
yes you do. you also have to, uh, lubricate (oo-er!) the corks too. for childhood cork grease i used cherry flavoured lip balm, ha! so it smelled very fruity indeed.

clarinets are not lame! : ( woody allen plays a mean clarinet. so, um, there.

they were 2 bucks each, cheap ass rico brand. I've still got a box of van dorens ($40/box), but they're too hard. I didn't realize that I was trying to play with too hard of reeds for about 4 years until senior year in college when this dude was trying to play my clarinet and was like, "dang your reeds are too hard". so I could have had a much easier time playing in high school if I didn't have such hard reeds. dumb! I blame my private lesson teacher.

blah, I played for 10 years, but haven't played in public for 11 years. I'm quite good, but I never really liked the sound of a clarinet or wanted to practice. boo hoo.

[jabumbo]

turn that clarinet into an alto sax and you could be a hip jazz cat!

[Documad]

$2! It's good to know that somethings haven't skyrocketed in price.

I wish I had played a brass instrument. My mom talked me into a clarinet because boys played brass instruments. At least it was better than the flute. :rolleyes:

[jabumbo]

At least it was better than the flute. :rolleyes:


i'll give you that much!


you could have played french horn?
