Diana: I have just quickly read your "confession" on the bulletin board. I
have just returned from a week away from campus. I can't comment much now but
promise to do so a bit later. RELAX. Goodness--if you find reeds that work
and you can play them why should it matter how you go about it? The world
of the EBONY AGONY TUBE is not all bad--not all good. But to take guilt upon
your shoulders because you aren't doing your reeds right? Who says so? If
they work just be thankful. When I was a student of Jack Brymer in London I
gave him a box of the then rage reed MORRE. He took them and handed them
back to me at my next lesson. He looked at them and said he was far too
busy as a clarinetitst to work and worry about them. SMILE Ron Monsen UK-SOM
