I've been making my own reeds again, and am having a problem in that I
can't get the reeds to last more than a few days, at most. I've been
using Glotin, Rigotti, and Olivieri blanks, all of which I think are
reputable blanks. When I used to make reeds a few years ago from Steuer
blanks, the reeds seemed to last 4-6 weeks. Does this seem to be a cane
problem, or could it be that I'm doing something to cause this? I
suspect it's me.
