Subj: Re: [kl] Reed Cases
Date: Thu, 15 May 2003 19:30:36 -0400

I think that Lelia has talked me into one of those cases. I particularly
like the rating scheme. I dug my dearly departed reed out of the trash
this morning and took a picture of it for you folks (for those of you who
are into this kind of thing). Curious isn't it, that a reed which would
separate in the interior the way this one did with just a little sideways
motion in the reed case was not only perfectly good for playing, but
persisted in that mode month after month requiring only the occasional clip
job. Notice at the left corner the slightest nick. That used to be rather
large but it diminished in size, clip after clip. I kept using it because
it was really such a wonderful reed which I'm going to miss. I put on a
Vandoren 3 last night but it will be a while before I find another as good
as the one in the picture.
