Please join us for a “Rico Reserve Mouthpiece & Reed Showcase and Clinic,” presented by Krista Weiss – FREE!
This clinic will focus on several newly released products from D’Addario Woodwinds and show how the right equipment setup can enable any clarinet or saxophone player to perform with an ease of response, even tone, and good intonation.
When it comes to mouthpieces, finding the right facing is key. This clinic will cover the concept of mouthpiece facings and demonstrate the three new Reserve clarinet mouthpieces available from D’Addario as well as the brand new Select Jazz mouthpiece for alto sax.
We’ll also include a segment on the completely redesigned Reserve clarinet and alto sax reeds and include tips on reed selection, care, and storage. A variety of other D’Addario accessories will also be featured, including ligatures, neck straps and mouthpiece patches, all of which have been designed to simplify the life of any clarinetist or saxophonist.
