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.

Yes. Also, the level of the reed affects the sound. Lower level reeds are easier to play but don't have as good of a tone as the harder to play higher level reeds.
How do you do Harmony's New Clarinet quest on horseisle?
Start by talking to Harmony. She will ask you to make her a new clarinet. To make it, go and see Xamba on Jungle Isle. He will need molds for the keys and 5 logs of ebony wood, but he tells you that he can make the molds and so you just need to get him the wood. When you have the logs, return to him and he will tell you to go and see Sandy Flint, the rock shop owner in Appleton to take the molds and ask him for reeds and keys. Go to Sandy, he will tell you to get him 25 silver ore to fill in the keys. When you have the ores, bring them back to him and he will then tell you to go and see Barrett on Tail Isle for the reeds. Barrett will give you a box of reeds for 1k. Then, when your done talking to Barrett, travel back to Sandy Flint. He will give you the molds and the bag of clarinet keys to take back to Xamba. When you get back to Xamba, he will make the clarinet and give it to you. Then, take it back to Harmony.
How do you make Clarinet reeds last longer?
Reeds vary in how long they'll last between brands. In any case, buy yourself a good reed case (or holder) that keeps the reeds flat while not in use. If you live in a very dry or very humid area, get a case that has some form of humidity control. Also, keep a good number of reed in use by using a different one every day and cycling them. You'll get better life out of each and if one gets damaged you wont't have to go a day or two breaking a new one in just when you really need a good one (which is so often the case!). And by keeping a number of reeds cycling like this you'll learn to discern which ones are really good and which are mediocre.
What do you do if your ligature on your clarinet doesn't fit?
First of all, be sure it is a clarinet ligature, not for Saxophone or bass/alto/E-flat soprano clarinet. Then, go to your local music store, band director and get a new one.

Why cant they make a clarinet that works without a reed?
Something has to to start the column of air vibrating, and it's the reed that does that. Some other mechanism might be used but it probably wouldn't sound much like a clarinet. I know that reeds are a pain for inexperienced players, but for those of us who have been playing for a long time, it's second nature. I'm always breaking in new reeds, and it's work, but it's routine.

What kind of student clarinet should I get that would work best for someone?
Yamaha makes clarinets that are great for new players. The instruments are sturdy and built for less experienced hands. To with that, I suggest starting with reeds sized at 2.5, especially those by Rico Royal. These reeds are created so that they are easy to play on for beginners. As the musician becomes more experienced, the size of the reed, or rather its thickness, should go up.
How do you do harmonys new clarinet quest on horseisle?
Go see Harmony to start the quest. She sends you to Xamba on Jungle(map him if you don't know where he lives). Xamba needs 5 EBONY LOGS. He then sends you to Sandy in Appleton to make the keys. Sandy needs 25 SILVER ores. Sandy sends you to Barrett on Tail(General Store) to get the reeds. Bring the reeds back to Sandy who has by now finished the keys. Bring everything to Xamba who has the clarinet. Bring the clarinet back to Harmony and have her play it for you. Reward: 20k/250qp Hope this helped! DarlingHeart from Roan Server
