To the cork. Because when I was just a li'l sprout oboer I was taught
to do that and to sort of make the last tie slide under the cork, so
that reeds wouldn't come unwound. I think I just never changed once I
got beyond the stage when that was likely to happen. But on English
horn and oboe d'amore reeds, just past the cane, and lots of extra
rounds like a bassoonist (but, yes, I'm aware, a poor, poor
imitation!;))

It does look better, and since I buy my nylon thread by the huge
spoolful from the wholesalers up in Sham Shui Po (district of Hong Kong
for all fabric, notions, boas, etc; mongrel computers and software legal
and not, and live snakes for soup in December - my former students
assure me it....wait for it... tastes kind of like chicken), I will be
bequeathing the leftovers to my former students in my will....

Doublereeders, thanks for anything political, cultural, intellectual
that you post here. I'm in danger of beginning to think that nobody in
the US thinks there's anything wrong with egregiously violating the
Geneva conventions.....
