Ot only the difference of the same type of wood but also the way You work
with the wood!!!
I sent this a few days ago to the list:

"I had an really interesting experience last week!

I visited my old teacher professor for a private lesson (bot interesting to
You all so far).

I started to play some long notes some staccato ... And after a few minutes
he came into the room and said:

You are using a reed made by machine using sanding paper and not a plane!!!

He was absolutely right! I have both sort odf machines and he ould hear
difference without listenin to me one and a half years just after a few
seconds!!!"

Regards Georg
