For beginners, a Hite is good. For more advanced, I would recommend Vandoren first. Try a Vandoren M15, or if you're looking for a bigger sound, an M30. I use a hand-made Richard Hawkins B. It's great! ---- A student can't go wrong with a Hite Premier, Fobes Debut, Pyne, Yamaha or Runyon. Differences are subtle. Student mouthpieces provide special construction features that enable students to play easier, such as wider rails. Vandoren and Selmer mouthpieces are expensive, particularly for a young beginner that may or may not play beyond the first year -- or even beyond the first month or two. I include them because they are so often recommended by well-meaning mid/high school teachers, many of whom are not really that familiar with woodwinds. The second list also provides a good comparison in tip openings to the less expensive student mouthpieces. Be aware that Vandoren models vary considerably from sample to sample and it is best to try a few. Check and compare the larger on-line merchants for pricing and in regards to their usually generous return policy.
