Reeds n Stuff
(MUST BUY!)
(On Wishlist)
Now check THIS out. It is a 10-reed holder with a Hygrometer and Humidifier in it! Cooooooool......I'm gonna buy this lor - if I travel often with my bassoon. It's about $180 for this (reeds not included =)). This is SO going into my WishList. *Grin*
(Planning to buy)
Should I get this (dial indicator)? It's not that expensive (about $300). It might save a lot of time for me. Hm...maybe I'll try to get this by the end of this year?
(In my dreams)
The tip profiling machine saves time but it's not that much a need unless you're bad with knives. If you compare this to the dial indicator, this tip profiling machine seems like something for a lazybum like me. But I'm a poor lazybum, so I won't spend unnecessary money lah. The dial indicator is different - it's not as if you can use vernier calipers to measure the thickness at different points of the reed.
Perhaps if some of us really get a double reed society up and running in S'pore, we could invest in those expensive reed making machines and claim world...er, Singapore domination! Then I can hire any Kampong Ah Niao, Ah Kow at US$1 a day to churn out perfect reeds. LOL.
