The story goes that a student would arrive at a lesson and proclaim,
"I've got a really good reed today, Mr. Tabuteau!" ........
Mr. Tabuteau would look over innocently and say, "Gee, really? Let
me take a look at that." The student would naively pull the reed off
of his/her instrument and hand it to him. In one swift stroke, Tabuteau
would then swing his arm around and smash that reed straight into the
wall! He'd then hand it back to the student and say, "Here, find another
one..."

AND THIS WAS PRODUCTIVE BECAUSE......??? (Yes, I'm yelling !)
