Tabuteau already had this covered! He didn't show most of his students his
reed "secrets." If he fixed a student's reed in a lesson, he turned his back
to hide what he was doing. A quote: "I teach my students everything THEY
know, but now everything I know."

<<Still, there is something to be said for encouraging students to learn to
deal with reeds that are less than ideal. It has been my observation that
some musicians are much better than others at playing on bad reeds, and
that is a valuable skill. If we always have to have a nearly ideal reed
in order to play our best, we are going to be frustrated much of our
lives, because, as we all know, most of the time our reeds fall far short
of excellence.>>
