Re: flunking reed making

HAHA! I do have a way with colorful language. I just mean very minor changes can make a huge difference. I turned a reed from just a hair stiff to brassy with two swipes of my knife the other day. I just meant so little means so much.

Loree's are fickle. I am not saying I would never own one, I'm sure if I owned 3, one would be a Loree, but it would not be my choice for one that is consistent. But we are all different. I like Rigoutat and some oboists think those are increbily bright. I think they are a little, but not overly so, and I love the flexibility. I would either go all the way to that end when I upgrade this January or to the other extreme of very stable and stiff and dark Marigaux. I'll leave the in between stuff for when I get my 3rd or 4th horn. :D
