Wow...no need to get so defensive. Everyone's taste in reeds is different,
everyone's standards are different. If you're comfortable wih the reeds
you're playing on then don't mind my comments, because they obviously don't
apply to you. It basically just means that we have different standards for
reeds that we choose to play on, and there's nothing wrong with that. In my
humble opinion, choosing not to cope with bad cane and using only the most
superb reeds leads to a more fufilling musical experience on my part. If
you're different, that's wonderful, that's why music is diverse and original
even if it has been played for the last 200 years; don't take it out on
me...Sheesh...
