I agree with your point of view. That is why I also use commercial reeds
as well as ones I make. My working with tube and blank and adjusting them
has given me some knowledge of what to do. You are right--not everyone is
going to become a reed-maker. But I find that to often people do not try
because they feel it is way beyond them. Trying will broaden the experience
with commercial reeds. Maybe I am wrong but it seemed to work for me.
