That is brilliant. I never considered the fiscal advantage that
would give me over other clarinet players. One thing regarding the
posting by Neil Leupold: Pauline Minevich suggested to our M-Class last
year that we keep a baggie/box of all our reeds that suck, and sometimes
they come back to life. I thought she was full of it at first, (don't
read this Pauline. she's on the list) but she's actually right. If
humidity bunged up a set of your reeds STOP PLAYING THEM. Don'
t kill them, because when the weather changes back, sometimes the reeds
do too. Just a thought. What can it really harm, at $20/box of new
V-12s bought bulk? You bought em, might as well try to put off pitchen em.
