I hadn't played my clarinet since elementary school. I recently got my clarinet out only to discover that I had no reeds or cork grease in my case (probably a good thing--I hate to think of what shape they'd be in after 30 years). Since there is no musical instrument store locally, I went through Amazon to purchase my reeds. I purchased these Mitchell Lurie Premium reeds based on their low price, plus the fact that I could purchase cork grease from the same company at the same time. As I recall, I paid $1.25 per bamboo reed in 1970, so I was surprised that the price for good reeds had not escalated over the years. [Cork grease, on the other hand...]
I was expecting these reeds to be plastic so was pleasantly surprised to find that these reeds are bamboo and seemingly of good quality. Strength 2.5 might be a little stiff for an 'Age 11 Beginner Who Has Just Picked Up Her Clarinet for the First time in 30 Years'--but, hey, who's listening to me play other than me?
Even after 30 years I still remember the basic ABC finger scale. You know, it's kind of like riding a bicycle--you never forget how. But What I need now is a book with easy songs to play and explanations on how, for People Who Have Not Touched Their Clarinet For 30 Years and Don't Remember What To Do With All Those Other Keys. I don't want to hire a music teacher--after all, I'm not being sought out by a jazz band for my talent, so there's no monetary future in it. I can't justify the cost of clarinet lessons since I'd just be playing by myself. I'm not even talented enough for a group that's gathering just for fun. So if anyone out there knows of a good self-tutorial book on the clarinet for someone like me, who's picked the clarinet up again after 30 years just for fun, please let me know the name of the book.

The box was damp, mold damaged reed
The packaging was somehow soggy and discolored. It was wrapped in plastic that seemed undamaged. But one of the reeds has a mold spot, and another has a cracked case. I'm very curious how this even happened. Seems dangerous.
