the best thing to do would be to go to a local music store and ask to try out mouthpieces. If they wouldn't let you, go to woodwind and brass wind.com(www.wwbw.com) and you can order mouthpieces and if you dont like it return it. Try an ottolink metal. If you want that jazz sound. For reeds, once when you find a mouthpiece that you like experiment with reeds until you come across a brand/size you like. Best wishes
