Interesting timing. I scrunged the main reed I was using Saturday, with a
Sunday concert, of course. I opened a new box of Vandoren. (No #
identifiction; blue box with purple & gold stripes.) It says 3 on the box
and 3 on the reeds, but I think I've seen 2x4s that played more easily. I
think several of these are going in the trash -- and you know how I hate
that. They were cut very unevenly. I tried to work on the three "least
worst" and gave up. I dragged out a Mitchell Lurie I'd played on before,
and it worked, so that was the concert reed. My only working reed. Made me
very nervous!
