(Not) Official Reeds

I swear I'm not as big of a jerk as some of the instruments make me out to be! But being nice is hard so it may be a little true. And no, you don't have reed game, and nor will you ever. I can't be that good, got a reputation to uphold!

Carol of the Bells played by basketballs

[mlcookies]

How lit is this lol

[prismatic-bell]

Please appreciate that those basketballs had to be inflated to different pressures to produce notes. Not only did they have to tune the balls, they had to figure out not when the balls should hit but when they should be dropped to hit at the appropriate time.

How Reed Instruments Cope With Reeds:

Saxophone: Doesn't even think about reeds. May not even know that they use a reed.

Clarinet: Spends a lifetime finding a good reed and then uses that same reed as long as possible because they know that no other reed will live up to the same standard and when they finally switch reeds they get sad because they don't sound as nice.

Oboe: Some say they cry, others say that the only reason they can cope is that they have no emotion whatsoever. However, no one will ever truly know how the oboe manages.

Bassoon: Carries reed around in an industrial-strength, bullet-proof, cushioned case with air-conditioning, heating, and a humidity controller.
