I find that by using superglue to fasten the reed to the mouthpiece one
avoids all the problems with pressure points. Also it's a lot cheaper than
buying ligatures. To get the reed off the mouthpiece just use superglue
remover. But it is very important that one use Gucci superglue remover-
Vuitton or Tommy Hilfiger just won't cut it. In a pinch one can use
acetone. Just my zwei groeschen worth. Tommy Lee Cahuzac. BTW, did anyone
get the license plate number of that taxi?
