Hee hee. I was reading the post about replacing old reeds and was wondering what type of make-shift repairs people have done in a pinch. The type that would make your music teachers cringe and the local repair guy choke....
Waaaay back when (over 20 yrs ago) when I was in high school, we used to 'clip' our reeds with scissors (too lazy to switch out and break a new one in) and the local music store was not the best, so one summer while waiting for a new pad, I used a piece of craft felt. And once in college, my ligature broke right before a parade, so I used a piece of duct tape to hold my reed on. (BOY, did it leave a mess on the mouthpiece)
(These methods are NOT advisable) hehe..of course, today I would never do these things (my clarinet is better cared for)
