Re: Why ask???

I recently asked if anyone had any suggestions on how to improve the sound of a synthetic reed that I was working on. Probably a stupid question, but ... you never know. Ed Palanker suggested that I should throw it away, which was good advice from a time saving point of view. But I was reluctant to give up on it and pressed on. After some further effort I arrived at a point where I have the reed working entirely to my satisfaction. I reported this and mentioned that Ed's diagram of the parts of a reed on his web site had been an inspiration.

My point is that, when we ask a question we may receive many and various suggestions, contradictory even or perhaps tongue in cheek. Obviously we can't follow them all.

But, any suggestion may throw up a new line of thought and be the seed that leads us to our own personal solution.

That's why I ask.

Tony
