This is very strange.
I just dropped off my Fox at the music man's shop, to be cleaned and adjusted, and came home with the Selmer 1492 that is their "loaner" instrument.
And I went upstairs to pick up my practice where I'd left off in exasperation two hours earlier, at the umpteenth time the octave key stuck shut--and found that the reed I'd been using earlier this morning, for only a few minutes of practice on a Barret etude, suddenly was exhausting to play.
Which is completely bizarre, as it's a well-broken-in reed that I've been playing very happily on for two weeks now, not tiring at all to play at 10 a.m.--but suddenly my embouchure is jelly at noon. Bwah?
I only practiced for a few minutes with the Fox this morning, a couple times through a Barret etude. There's no way I could be this pooped after only one Barret etude, one page of Gekeler Two, and one page of Rubank Two. I had to come down and eat lunch, there was no point in continuing. This kind of thing happen to anybody else, or is it just the Bad Practice Fairy?
