Glory Clarinet Mouthpiece Kit with Ligature,one reed and Plastic Cap,Black

Excellent. Got a dad out of a jam. When your teenage daughter lets you know 2 days before her competition for school that the cork needs to be replaced on her mouth piece this is the way to go. I called around for the repair and they said 2 to 3 days to repair so that was not going to work. Luckily I found this listing and it saved the day. Now I can look at YouTube university and learn to repair the old one.

But as a gift, my brother loves it

I don’t know much about music, but as a parent, I find myself constantly buying supplies for my kids, who play in their high school band. I purchased the Glory Clarinet Mouthpiece Kit with Ligature, Reed, and Plastic Cap based on the recommendation from their school teacher, and I’m glad I did! The kit seems to be of great quality, and my kids haven’t had any complaints. The mouthpiece fits well, and the reed performs as expected. It’s been a reliable choice, and since it was recommended by their teacher, I trust it’s up to the standards they need.

The reads that come with this product I don’t think that they are meant for any thing that you will be playing at least seventh grade 6 grade and under would be fine but when you start getting to those high notes, it is harder to use. I also think that these are supposed to be used for Instrument, I don’t think these are the correct Reid’s But it does have a very nice value because there is reads along with the mouse piece. The sound quality isn’t as good. I feel like it could be better, but it is a very good and fast replacement.

I’ve had some trouble with mouthpieces in the past. Either really breakable, or it didn’t produce a good quality product. This mouthpiece is perfect!! Tuning is so much easier and my sound quality is amazing. It is so affordable for suck food quality. It fit perfectly with my clarinet as well. It plays so smooth. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

Works

I am an intermediate clarinet player - more toward the beginner end of the spectrum with a few years playing in the band and for personal pleasure. I have an inexpensive clarinet (Vito) and a nicer one (Buffet Evette). I was hoping that this Glory mouthpiece would be better than the Buffet mouthpiece, but it wasn't. The high notes were slightly harder to hit, and there was a little more resistance to blowing, overall. I think it was as good as the Vito. That was all fine - I was actually buying this mouthpiece kit for the ligature, because I needed another one, and getting a "bonus" mouthpiece for all of $12 seemed like a good idea. But it wasn't. Whoever packs these at the factory doesn't know anything about clarinets. The ligature is made of very cheap, heavily plated metal, and was tightened so much before shipping that it broke through the outer layer of the included reed (nice touch!) and splintered it. Not cool. The screws were poorly machined, and ground a bit when tightening them. Moreover, the metal between the screws was actually warped! You can see this in the product pictures on the amazon site, and it is even more apparent on some pictures from the customer reviews. I added a couple of close-ups from the amazon product photos so you can see what I mean. When properly tightened, the ligature should hold the reed firmly on the face of the mouthpiece, but it should not crush the reed, and it certainly should not bend at an acute angle between the screws. So I'm returning mine and getting a Clark Fobes Debut or Yamaha 4C. That's a personal choice. If you have a $150 clarinet, a $30 - $35 mouthpiece is expensive. This Glory mouthpiece would be OK to replace the mouthpiece on an inexpensive clarinet. After all, it did play almost as well as the Buffet. And you can always buy another ligature or reed when needed. I just didn't have the patience for that, and if you, like me, want to buy the Glory kit for just the ligature, I'd suggest you look elsewhere, because that was my main concern: the metal appears very brittle and prone to cracking after multiple tighten/loosen cycles. It was bent around the stress points even before I took it out of the package. Perhaps my expectations were just too high. Your experience may well be different.

Perfect for my daughters clarinet. Works perfectly exactly what we needed.thank you
