<< Wait a minute--is there a tendency for double reed players to become piano technicians? And/or is there something about the combination of the two that makes people end up in Texas? Barbara Richmond, RPT (who survived a reed in the neck when someone unexpectedly barged into her practice room when she and her bassoon were in the way.....) Palestine, Texas >> Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry to hear about your carotid artery or whatever, but WAS THE REED OKAY?? Seems like this conversation is getting unbalanced (may I use that word where double reedists are concerned?) in favor of bassoonists, so I thought the oboists should honk in. Bob Davis, RPT, Principal oboist, Stockton, CA, Symphony (Texan who got his Bachelor's from the University of Texas) my wife Marcia Davis, RPT (oboe/English horn, Stockton, CA, Symphony) (related to Texas only by marriage) and do you know Ben McKlveen (oboist) near Cincinnati? (not even close to Texas)
