 How to get out of a reed slump!
Author: Oboehotty

Hi everyone,
I am in one of those frustrating and annoying reed slumps. Unfortunately they seem to be happening more and more often lately. Short of quitting the oboe altogether (which has crossed my mind often!) simply because of the demons we call reeds, does anyone have suggestions for how they bring themselves out of a reed slump? This one seems to be lasting for a couple of months -- which is even more frustrating. Knife sharpening is not very successful lately either -- even with brand new knives.

How does everyone get themselves out of a reed slumps short of hurling knives at inanimate objects and throwing one's oboe across the room... thanks in advance!

Shawn
