Old recordings are scratchy because of the first word I said. They are not brand new, they have been worn, like those idiots who compare old and new vehicles like that's an accurate comparison with equal results.
The trumpet is a very spitty instrument as we all know, and we all know what happens when spit and sugar come together. Cleaning normal gunk out of a trumpet isn't fun already. I would hate to imagine cleaning candy out of my horn. 😂
Imagine starting on these and getting used to putting insane amounts of pressure through it. Then when you try actual reeds you just destroy it with the pressure
i'm a 5th grader and honestly, i've always sounded the best in the band. According to my knowledge because 30 people play with instruments trombone, baritone, flute, clarinet, trumpet, and alto sax. So you can only hear you and the person sitting next to you
Mouthpiece would end up being dissolved, and or nasty, as I see the only way to really make one would be from candied sugar. It would be an entirely different mouthpiece each time too. Maybe even every few measures.
Well then you better hear the clarinet if you don't position your reed correctly, just a little bit too low you'll be squeaking almost every time you try to play or change a note. It's also high pitched.. 😅
Back in fourth grade when I started learning to play my alto sax, a few other saxophonists and I were talking about how smart flavored reeds would be… and then the band teacher told us the horror
Keep practicing, we all have to start somewhere! These guys have been doing this for a long time, so set small goals for yourself and keep yourself motivated!
Not funny. This actually happened to me when preparing for my Berklee audition. . . Five to eight hours a day, six days a week for six months. My practice coach laughed at the pink reed, said it looked like I was wearing lipstick. I passed the audition so it was worth it.
For less resistance, you have to buy the $800 jolly rancher mouthpiece (I recommend the 1.5* tip opening). It will dissolve over time so make sure you get the warranty.
Reminds me of the dentist when they’re like “What flavor cleaning do you want? We got cherry, blue raspberry, watermelon, cookie dough, chocolate, and mint.”
When I was younger, like maybe 8 years ago or something like that, my older brother had these grape flavored reeds that he liked and used often. I dont know if they were as poorly made as these, but I can still remember the mix of grape and wood and it was honestly really good
This reminded me of our only clarinet in our sad small band. Evertime she took her mouth off to rest, I'd always see her reed be bloodshot red. I was concerned for the first half, but then I realize it was just stained with her lip balm or lipstick. It was one or the other but I was never sure. I was always concerned until I realize the split second. She was pretty good at it even as a begginer
I play bass clarinet, and I swear to god, this would be hilarious to play with while people hear aggressive tonguing and my ombuture shitting on itself.
But... but that's just gonna make you salivate while playing... I mean, sometimes reeds can taste kinda sweet, but nowhere close to cherry. I can't imagine the feel of that, it can't be so bad, but it will just make you salivate. Also, apparently they don't work, so... perhabs reed-shaped candy would be the best place to go from here.
Discovered your lick video, got recommended your reed taste video, man I'm hooked and subbed and may have a new interest in jazz music which I did not expect
I laughed so much it’s insane. This was fun to watch. I guess the flavoring is a disguise to hide the fact that those reeds never made it through the full process of the time necessary for a reed to become playable. Thanks man. Great video.
We had so many people get in trouble with these back in middle school in 97 or 98. Our band director would tell us how much damage they could do to our instruments
I work for D'Addario (and often deal with inquiries for B&O) and any time I get a question of someone asking us to make flavored reeds, I'll send them this video. Thanks for that!
watching this, really helps me know that I might not be as rusty as I seem to be, and that it is my mouthpiece and reeds that are bad. I got a tenor for Christmas, haven't played in 17 years, it's not as easy as I remember to get the notes out. It's a $700 sax (John Paul, I think it is, or something like that), with the basic mouthpiece; no seal whatsoever. I did have a video of me playing, but it was so cringe I deleted it. lol First time to your vids, now subscribed.
When Nathan did the Cinnamon one, it was hilarious. I couldn’t stop laughing for a week. I don’t know why. I somehow found it hilarious that your pitch was so flat you used that reed. 😂😂
I think the issue was the "strength" option. I fairly certain that was the thickness or the "strength" of the air you would have to put out. I dont know what that would be called even though I also play the saxophone. I play 3.0 reeds.

It's amazing how a bad reed can make you sound like a 5th grader in an instant.
I once sounded like that in front of my whole town. It sucked
Ik I was so embarrassed my reed today got messed up and I sounded like trash in front of the whole band

@jude brewer I doubt you are the best in the band. You just full of lies!
I 100 percent see why you are saying this being in a 5th grade band i can say we all suck
A member of my band once ate a jolly rancher right before playing and it turned her reed blue for a week.. this looks just like that

Now I get why our band directors practically BEGGED us not to buy these during 6th grade
I bought these as a joke thing for my section a while ago for marching band.
None of us expected anything good, but goddamn was it funny
The world of reeds is so interesting to me. Like, when would brass player ever have a FLAVORED mouthpiece?
And when would they taste it? They do the 'bzzz' and 'pbpbpbpbpbpbll' kind of thing into theirs they don't put their mouth on it
The better question is, why don't we have flavoured mouthpieces?
@@jeannebouwman1970 wouldn't they get all sticky?
I'd imagine it could work ok for kids who need convincing to get into instruments
Mouthpiece would end up being dissolved, and or nasty, as I see the only way to really make one would be from candied sugar. It would be an entirely different mouthpiece each time too. Maybe even every few measures.
As a brass player the fact that a reed can make this much of a difference on a woodwind is crazy to me 😂
I've never heard a reed make a difference this drastic. It's honestly impressive how shitty they are 😂
Well then you better hear the clarinet if you don't position your reed correctly, just a little bit too low you'll be squeaking almost every time you try to play or change a note. It's also high pitched.. 😅
I know right

Nothing beats the initial, straight out the box taste of a normal reed
