You're a Professional so this is realistic for you, Cooper.
I should like to have enough mentoring so as to make a performable reed in 10 minutes, that would be terrific.


Ha, don't get me wrong. Just because I was told to make a reed in 10 minutes and play on it, doesn't mean I do! Heck, even my current teacher makes a reed over a period of days. I will say a reed is always the loudest the day it's been made, but otherwise, I will break a reed in gradually.

I wish I could live with reeds as you do.

I prefer not tot play on reeds that are not up to my comfort level; although, at times I have done so).


It's not as glamorous as it sounds. Trust me.
The point I was trying to make was that sometimes we have the reed we need, but more often than not we don't, so we learn to do our best and be satisfied with it.

On my website I mention the pressures of reedmaking and how burdensome they are. I remember feeling helpless and frustrated at 2am in the morning still trying to make another reed for the next day. Looking back at it now, I wish I had figured out another way (cover with embouchure, work toward stability, break reeds in slower) than driving myself insane.
