LMAO!
My favorite: " I DON'T HAVE ANY REEDS!!" (said while looking at several large cases full of reeds). Unfortunately, I know exactly what she means.

Well, I guess it was "I have no reeds!" But the idea is the same. A box full of reeds and nothing to play (today). Although a couple of weeks ago I had one of those rare days when absolutely everything played.

I have no blank spaces on my several reed cases... every reed meets minimum standards at least, and another 30+ on my drying rack, and I somehow usually feel the same.
I think the sentence is incomplete...ala, I have no perfect reeds.
And to that I can ![[toast]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/smiley15.gif)
and agree vociferously.

Is this American phenomenon or true all over the world?

The reed stuff is true over the world, for certain!
The oboe-brand snobbism, at least in my experience studying in the US but having lived my life in Australia, more an American thing. The Loree thing amongst the student oboists I know is crazy!
Our reed making classes and the reed lab sound just like the start of the video - 20-odd oboists crowing and testing at the same time - it's a beautiful thing!

some really good quotes there, my favorite being
'I can't get anything to vibrate'.
(what do people who overhear these conversations THINK?!?!?!)

This was hilarious to me. I could totally relate to some of it. Especially the part where the girl wants the brass to play quieter. I play clarinet and/or oboe in the church orchestra and the brass players sit right behind me. They BLAST me out of my chair sometimes.

Sadly, there is no cure. Only therapy and adjudent meds.
Survival rate at 40+ years of oboing is encouraging though... somewhere around 65%.
Coincidentally, that is the same rate as my stage 3 metastatic malignant melanoma post bio-chemo treatments. 9 years and counting!

...and I'm sure, Craig that for you, as for me, playing oboe (with all its diversions!) is a part of the therapy...

You can write, direct, and star.
I'm sure it would be up for an academy award.
Nah--not enough academy folks would get the wry humor.
See what they're missing!
