Legere Classic synthetic reed, 2.5, exchanged from a much harder 3.5, and sounds a lot better. photo by Don Tai.
You do not really know if a company guarantee is worth the pixels on their web page until you or someone else tries it out for themselves. Little Weed has been playing B flat clarinet in junior high and senior high school for a couple of years now. When we originally bought reeds we went the safe route and bought wood reeds, namely the Rico brand. This time we decided to try the Legere Classic synthetic reed, bought at a local music store, ten times more expensive than the traditional wood reed. Initially the reed was too hard, but after a free exchange for a much softer number, the synthetic reed was an immediate success.

Kids will be kids, in that they buy stuff, play with stuff, and then eventually break stuff. My job is to repair the stuff they break. Which brings me to the Ripstik casterboard. There are three variations: Classic, Ripster, Ripstik G, and the DLX. My local group, which includes my Little Weed, rides on Classic, G, and DLX models. Two of their G models broke in the same manner, with two different boys, of different weights. My advice for Ripstik buyers is to steer clear of the G model. I apologize to all for y 6 month delay in posting this info, but I was distracted by work.
