Best Answer

A plastic Clarinet is good for marching band or pep band. They are more durable then wooden clarinets and will not crack due to temperature like a wooden clarinet will. They are also good for students that are just starting out on clarinet. But for anyone serious about playing the clarinet it is better to invest in a wooden clarinet.

Why won't my new clarinet reeds work?

There may be a couple of reasons. The reeds may be either too thin or too thick for you to play with. Or, it's common to find "bad reeds" in a new box of reeds, yes I know, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Even when the box of reeds is the same thickness there are little variations in the cut that can make one reed play better than another. It's customary for clarinet players to either throw away some of the "new reeds", fix them or simply use them only to study.
