Howard,
No real need for 50 reed cases...
Any simple box can cary 100 - 200 blanks for road purposes.
Otherwise, at home-base, 3 rows of small nails on a piece of wood work great for holding reeds.
In my case, I glued some old 47 mm staples to wood and they hold my blanks.
(Since I use 46 mm staple now days...)
I promote the blank to a finished reed across three rows of progress, back to front.
Blank goes to the back row, then the 1st scrape reeds into the middle, and once in the final stages (last 3 days) they promote to the front row.
I maintain about 50 reeds in progress, usually with 38 oboe and 12 ehorn reeds in progress this way. And I keep a box full of immature blanks ahead of the queue.
I will admit to carrying a 10 reed oboe case, and 20 reed oboe/ehorn case in public, and usually I like 6 ehorn reeds in hand in the mix.
The bigger cases just cost too much...:)
