Flavored reeds?! Ugh! At what market of players are they directed?
Just the players who want to suck? <pun very much intended> I'm sorry,
but the whole concept of reeds that come in flavors - much less a VARIETY

extra step and make them edible? "Metamucil Brand clarinet reeds - for
that extra fiber in your diet when you need it most..."
