Re: allergic to reeds?

Not Brazilian, so far as I know, but certainly Argentinian - Gonzalez make their own reeds and also sell cane to other manufacturers.

A synthetic reed is another possibility.

Sadly, I wonder whether this is just general sensitivity rather than a specific allergy, in which case she might do better to switch to a different instrument.

Worth trying applying lip-salve regularly, though she'll need to remove it thoroughly before playing a cane reed. Using synthetic reeds she could probably wear it even while playing.

I assume she is looking after her reeds adequately, not letting them grow mould?

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.

To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.
