No, it is simple. The Buffet E11 clarinet with a Vandoren M13 Lyre mouthpiece. Begin with a #3 Vandoren traditional reed and try to have them on a 3 and one half by mid year. Then move them up the next year ( or earlier for certain students) to a 3 and one half V12 Vandoren reed.

Nice solid advice.  Sounds like a true professional.
