Now, if this isn't a provacative post......charging the listserv with
energy........I don't know what is!

We have talked about reed rush.......interesting how the reed making books
never discuss using it.

But, I agree with the idea that just a single scrape from an abrasive item
such as reed rush, sandpaper, or (my favoirte) a reed knife will turn a
bad reed into a great one.
