What reed is recommended for an 11 year old with one year of experience. he has played on a 2 1/2 rico royal.

You may want to purchase one 2 1/2 Vandoren reed before going up a half size. Vandoren brand reeds tend to use stronger cane than Ricos. Also, your reed wears down as you use it, so the 2 1/2 your child uses might be closer to a 2 now.

What strength would be good for me i have about 2 month experience with rico reeds 2 1/2

If you been just playing for 2 months with 2 1/2 you ready for Vendoren red box 1 1/2 you will see .
