I'm glad to read it and I apologize for not catching on to the joke!

I'm mostly relieved to read that someone (you) has been able to play on store-bought reeds in a very significant way. I have been making my own since my 2nd year and have never bought any after that. From the comments I was reading on this forum, I was under the impression that purchased reeds were never satisfactory. I have always belived this idea to be ridiculous, so I'm happy you proved it wrong!

As for knife sharpness, as a student I had that problem for one and only one reason: good stones were not to be found in my areas! There is simply no alternative: expensive Arkansas or Ceramic stones are the only way (leather strop or what have you are good for finishing).

Best of luck!
Cheers!
