 Re: Bootman's Reed Drilling Process

Back when Vandorens came in the purple boxes, people complained about how lousy the cane was and how few of the reeds played well. Now sellers on eBay are getting premium prices for those legendary 'purple box Vandorens". I even saw a seller trying to get a high price for the similarly legendary "brown box Ricos", which many of us will agree may have been some of the WORST reeds ever made.
As for people playing today on 'old stock' reeds --- you can't compare those to the same reeds when they were new. 20-30 years of aging does interesting things to cane reeds. The same box of reeds that was unplayable in 1970 may work great today. So if you have the wherewithal to do so, buy more reeds now than you need for your daily playing, and store the excess for the future.
