Yes,when I was 10 year-old boy,I dreamed of being an oboeist like that Leon
Goosens.I gave up because of foreseeable too much difficulty of double reed
making in spite of my father being a proffessional basoon player and too
high price of the instrument.I thought single reed making must be much
easier.But it was not.
