Go to a catalog.
Pick one of every reed brand and strength.
Pick one of every mouthpiece.
Pick one of every ligature and *please* include shoelaces.

Add mouthpieces no longer available.
Add ligature no longer available.
Add all reeds that have been stored longer than 12 years.

Do all possible combinations and permutations.
For each label:

Bad combination.
Reasonable combinaiton.
Best combination ever.
