Brian,
I also apologize if I was rude. It's just that I think it goes without
saying that you are one of the very largest double reed supply companies on
Earth, and that means that you are going to be catering to a very large
range of customers. If there is a demand for these reeds, and I'm sure there
is, then someone needs to supply them, and it is honorable to do so.
Beethoven's 9th Symphony will survive a few bad performances without being
permanently defaced, and Charles Double Reed Company will endure the
exposition of a less than stellar product.
That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed getting bent over in horrified,
tortured amazement! Thanks to all!
Crispin
