Yeah, well make sure you get one which doesn't cause the reed to stick to
the surface when it dries out. My beloved five-year-old fungus infested
reed stuck to the surface of my reed holder and broke right in the middle
producing a huge gap when I pulled it out a couple of days ago. I had a
good deal going with the fungi. They promised to keep it nice and brittle
and never to grow hairs which I'd have to scrape off with my bottom teeth
and I promised not to throw it away. Deesaster. Now I have to break in a
new one. 8-)
