Some free samples were given away with the most recent issue of
"Clarinet and Saxophone." They were supposed to be of three different strengths,
but I wouldn't have known this without looking at them - they all (2 1/2, 3, and
3 1/2) seemed slightly too soft.

For our own past is covered by the currents of action,
But the torment of others remains an experience
Unqualified, unworn by subsequent attrition.
People change, and smile: but the agony remains.
