Dear All,
If were talking flavored reeds, there is a reed out on the market that has
several different flavors in the box. There is lemon, orange, cinnamon, and
peppermint. I swear this is true! I bought a couple of boxes as a motivator
for my youngest students to practice more. Their complaint was that the
flavor wore off after the first playing. My complaint was the they sounded
like ricos if you know what I mean. I recently saw these same reeds (RKM
brand) in a music store called Zapfs in Pa. for $2 a box.
