Bedroom. I don't have a very large apartment, and the bedroom is the best
insulated. (Actually, I usually make blanks on vacation at my parents'
house - go on a two-week binge and then use these blanks over the course
of the next year.) However, much of my reedmaking occurs in rehearsal.
I've heard that this isn't considered very professional, but neither are
the orchestras I play in.

What kind of information? Most of my experiences concern student
orchestras of various levels (unfortunately).
