I just revisited Martin Schuring's site on the ASU servers. (It's a great assemblage of all things Oboe - check it out if you don't know it) He comments that it will probably take somewhere around 1000 reeds before you have a real handle on what you are doing. 2 reeds a week makes that a 10 year project. 2 reeds a day turns that into a 16 month task, more managable but not trivial.

Not to discourage anyone, but to set expectations: to tackle this journey means to keep doing it and doing it and...

The other half of this coin is, if you are virtuous and maintain that pace it gets much easier very quickly and after a couple of months you can probably start playing with some of the larger variables.
