Subj: Re: [DR-L] Plastic reeds (oboe)

John,
I know of a decent orchestra in which the principal oboist uses hand-me-down
reeds from the second oboist. I'd say they were "has been" reeds, but
actually they're more like "has-never-been" reeds.
I know this oboist pretty well, and he would never even consider using a
plastic reed.
My wheels are turning on this. I'll mess around with some thoughts now going
through my head.
