Re: Music should be fun, right?

Hmm. Apparently the stuff you should be working on is not taxing enough to prevent you from bothering with reeds...

I think you're standing in your own light. If it isn't the reed, then it may be the instrument, or the mouthpiece, or the moon phase, or whatever can serve as an excuse.

Suggestion: I'm sure that after seven years you have one or two spare mouthpieces around. I know, they used to suck back then and you don't really love them and so on. Still...instead of messing around with reeds, blindly grab one of the mouthpieces, and one of your reeds, and make the best of it. Imagine you're on stage and all you have is that single reed, that single mouthpiece, that one instrument. You don't intend to entertain the cheering crowd scraping and sanding your reed, do you? Make the best of what that given set of gear is giving you, don't bother about tone, concentrate on the music, on the groove.
