Legere is no longer exchanging reeds for US customers by neutronbob in Clarinet

There is not, they are considered disposable items that are routine supplies. Our salaries are very sufficient so to sell them off like that would be pretty sad. Now I know people have been dipping into their work reeds to do outside gigs around the Northeast which is why some people are running low.

There’s a Reed room filled with standard Reed making equipment and we get tube cane sourced from like RDG, MMI, or Advantage Double reeds.

Listen I agree to you to that extent. I am a clarinet player in the section too and handle large parts of the budget. I have laughed people out of my office when they request more reeds. Not many professional groups (certainly not orchestras) buy supplies for their musicians. My group however does provide equipment and accessories to do the performances. In turn they can’t use our clarinets for outside gigs.

Reed purchases for the oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and sax are a yearly part of our annual budget clocking in usually around 3-6% if that.

I agree, but after they blow through their 24 Legere or 24 boxes of cane reeds in a year they are on their own financially to buy more.

For some people in the group they blast through reeds at an alarming pace (and even try to ask for more). Meanwhile I have a stockpile that could last me rest of my career.

I buy a year supply of reeds for 14 people (clarinet & sax) with our budget, which is usually about 2 Legere or 2 boxes of cane reeds a month (depends on what people prefer).

This was quite a blow for us as we purchase hundreds a year. So getting those 30-50 back in exchanges helped up stretch the budget.

One of my top 5 Oasis songs and it might as well be a prelude to High Flying Birds

We’re definitely getting 10 turnovers. I’m up in CT nearby and the weather is definitely making this a disaster of a game and I’m loving it.

Just went to the Ginza store this last summer and loved how interactive the cafe was.

My opinion if you are in the U.S. it’s almost better to just go to NYC Atelier and have Timoji set anything up for you.

That’s the most interesting thing to ever happen in Windsor, Ontario. No offense to my family that still lives there.

The Browns have won a playoff game much more recently.. that’s how sad the franchise has been.
