PLEASE - Those of you who hav sent such Great Responses on Questions like
This Below.... Please let us Educators know what Sprays are best for
Recruiting Displays, where numbers of students are trying the same Clarinet
with the Same Reed!! To have YOU FINE PROS in this area give us INFO would
be a Great Gift to Me and others. Please Respond!! I too am home today
with STREP-THROAT! Is that SANIMIST mentioned below (that we also use) good
for having multiple students (spraying between) play the same horn & reed??
