Maybe you have been frustrated with your reedmaking lately. Here are few reedmaking specific memes that hopefully brighten your day. Let me know if there are any that you really relate to!
Especially when you are first learning to make reeds, successfully tying them so that they don’t leak is just about the best feeling!
Somehow the most recent reed I have made tends to feel better. This is especially a pain when the second reed was intended for someone else, but you want it!
I find few things more deflating than a good reed ruined.
It’s always good to learn when to just leave a new reed alone. If I think it could need just a *slight* adjustment when it is otherwise great, I try to leave it for at least a few days to see if I really do want to tweak it. We already mentioned the feeling of ruining a good reed…
The jokes about oboists being picky when it comes to reeds are so funny for being so true. The quest for the perfect reed is never ending!
Always sharpen your knife! One hundred times per reed if you need to!
Changing seasons can be brutal.
Some truths are hard to accept. But is this really true?
And finally, we’ll end on high note!
I hope you enjoyed that distraction! Now back to reedmaking!
Or buy handmade oboe reeds!
