Not a good argument, Fernando. Try adding 4 g sulphuric acid to 96 g pure
water, then drop in your favourite reed. WARNING: Kids, don't try this.
Leave the experiment to an adult who understands chemistry and stand well
back. After the experiment you will be using your second best reed, I should
think. And that was 96% pure water.

I prefer not to try the experiment myself, so I cannot guarantee the results
from direct experience. I can't afford lots of new reeds!
