Toothguards were recommended for my daughter's clarinet. Now which ones to get? Are the thick black ones too thick and these are better??

i have the clear thin one. you dont notice it is there. i originally wanted the black thick one because i think they look better but someone mentioned the thick one gets in the way. i didnt want to take the chance

Well I would recommend the transparent ones. To me the black ones are too thick amd I feel more comfortable using the transparent ones.

It all depends; if she's never used guards before, I'd recommend the thinner the better, just to get used to them. I only just started using them on clarinet, and soprano, alto, and tenor saxophones because of a recommendation from a repair man, and these type work well on all of them. The color doesn't really matter other than preference. You can't really see the clear ones, and the black ones just seem to be a different color to differentiate that they are thicker. Perhaps the thicker ones might be better if your daughter has *very* sensitive teeth, but I'm fairly sure either one works well for protecting the mouthpiece (which is kind of secondary, unless you have a *really* nice mouthpiece).

Most band teachers don't like it however my daughter lives hers. It's a good starter instrument. As the years goes by, you will need to upgrade to something better. My daughter is in the 8th grade and has had this particular clarinet for over a year. I know that when she go to high school, I'll have to get her a much better and expensive one.

That's the 2+2=4 answer I put together. nIf the strips work by just stretching your tissue (& the guy on Shark Tank said your body thinks it has to fill in spaces) then the mouth guard should work. We found one for under $3 at Academy, & I'm just starting to use it. We'll see...

According to the forums, you should try a BG Silver Revelation Ligature. I use a Vandoren mouthpiece, so I can't verify this information personally.

Yes, our daughter was 11 when we bought the Jupiter clarinet for her-it was actually a step up from a cheaper clarinet we purchased through her school. If your child shows a continued interest in concert band as they get older--you'll likely want to get him a better quality clarinet-i.e.--wooden Buffet or Yamaha.

The threads r all same size. If u buy another peg for your clarinet u can put in stand instead of piccolo holder

Dear Kathryn: I have returned the stand to Amazon. If memory serves, my stand had 3 holes with the same size threads in all of them, but since I cannot be sure I do not want to mislead you. My stand had two flute pegs, which would serve for two clarinets, and then presumably you could bring your other clarinet peg, and put it in the piccolo spot. A clarinet player friend of my tried the stand and liked it. I would say the larger pegs are more compatible with the clarinet than with the flute, which as you can see, i highly recommend against using with the flute.

I've ordered the 1R a number of times, as well as Rovners for Bass Clarinet, Soprano-Alto-Tenor-Bari Saxes and all have come with a sturdy, well-made plastic mouthpiece cap...not the thin, easily broken cheapo cap, but a good one that will keep the reed hydrated while the clarinet is at rest. It is a necessity due to the shape and configuration of the ligature. Hope this helps.

It looks like your average sports mouth guard - it fits on your top teeth & when moulded, should stay in position. Keep in mind they are quite narrow so if you have a broad mouth bridge, it may not fit 100% although the moulding process does help with this.

I bought the clarinet for my 7th grade daughter. It was recommended by her band teacher. It is a very good clarinet.

I have a number of this type, and they are actually too small to use on woodwinds (except for flat spring screws).I'd recommend either one of those 9-in-1 TORX pocket drivers (or something similar), or, if you're looking for a bit higher quality instead of convenience, the '6 Piece Electrician's Micro Screwdriver Set' by Pittsburgh Pro (find the ones that have fat bodies, a narrower area between the center and the butt, then a wide orange or yellow butt cap - they're very comfortable).

Yes. I love the mouth guard, I chipped my tooth and I have a fake cap on my front tooth from chipping it and with this mouthpiece never had a problem..

I have had dentist made night guards. When my dogs chewed my recently made guard, I did the do your own. I would try the Dentek products first. Be sure to read the directions several times before doing. It might take a couple times before it fits right. Be sure to talk to your dentist, first.

please understand these are big heavy mouth trays that are used with teeth whitening treatments. There is nothing special about them that makes them grind guards. they are big and difficult to tolerate in your mouth while trying to sleep. I was not able to close my mouth without interrupting my breathing, so I guess mine will last forever.

If you get a good seal, then they have good isolation. Comes with three different sized tips, so you should be able to get a good fit. I'd say they have really good isolation.

Depends on the type of bass clarinet. However, you should be able to get the same brand for a bass clarinet. It's an excellent stand brand.

Keep in mind that I am just a parent of a 7th grader and I have never owner a clarinet, before this, in my life. I think it is a B flat clarinet. Something in the literature alludes to this, but I'm not sure. I don't see any specific warranty information in my paper work, by there is a card that says, "You're guaranteed until graduation." It says, . . . "we will stand behind our instruments for the entire time you participate in school music."
