Ah reeds, no, it didn't come with a reed and made no noise when I blew down it
I went from there to a piece of margarine carton and that didn't sound good so bought a 2.5 'royal by d'addario as I've used their guitar strings before, said reed was sat in water for a couple of minutes and is living in a moist container currently (I youtubed it quite hard
) and with all my fingers in place (c) I can lift 4 fingers one at a time to raise pitch ten put them back to lower it again, I'm using a TU80 tuner and blow about half a tone flat
Edit, it's an 'alto' mouthpiece too, not 'tenor' as advertised, and if I knew the difference I'd sulk but as I don't I wont
