Christopher,

Can you provide more details? This is like a fantasy come true for me!
I still have my last "good" Morre reed (from 1989) in one of my reed
cases -- I kept it for luck! I played that sucker until it died,
clipping and reshaping several times. It still plays, but not well
enough. (It's probably too short!) Did they come in a small dark red
box? Were they in German-style strengths (i.e. 2-1/4 and 2-1/2)? Oh,
please answer my post at your earliest convenience -- I would happily
pay $25 or $30 a box for these gems!!!

Jacqueline

P.S. As a former Dagon student myself, perhaps I can try to contact him
-- is he on e-mail??
