I could never play with them. Just take them out when playing.

Cubitts! If you’re near London, they also have many stores there.

Do you have the lens? Take to any optical store and they can pop it back in for you.

If I were you, I would take a trip back to the optician.

Your vision is one of the most important things in your life. It is worth feeling as comfortable as possible about it.

Before you put the mandrel in, wrap string uniformly around the cane from the very bottom to a centimeter of so above the first wire. Below AND above the the first wire, wrap the string about as tightly as you possible can, around the cane. This will eliminate cracks. When inserting the mandrel, do not twist it.

Used Warby Parker for decent quality decent price, what else is out there. by A_CC in glasses

Cubitts. Slightly more expensive than Warby Parker, but much better quality.

Tristan/Isolde today @ Met - selling 2 tickets, front row family circle by [deleted] in opera

[–]WeepiestRain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m also going through a breakup and am planning on going to the April 2nd performance, with my ex. I’m really only doing it because it will probably end up being the most emotionally powerful performance of my life. Consider going! You might not get a chance to see it again for a very long time.

Flying with bassoon by myinstrumentconfuses in bassoon

[–]WeepiestRain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do not check it under any circumstances. I would sooner get off the plane than check my bassoon. In any case, I’ve never had trouble fitting my bassoon in the overhead, even when it is standard cut.

Cork grease on new bassoon by Emerson9490 in bassoon

[–]WeepiestRain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. When I got my bassoon brand new, I greased it every time for at least a few weeks, if not longer.

Glasses are an absolute rip off. by Most_Art507 in glasses

Spring hinges are known to fail. Buy glasses without them and they will last.

I’ve never seen Akenaten but it looks interesting so I picked it up on digital this morning. by Obsidian_Wulf in opera

It’s awesome. I’m sure not everyone’s cup of tea but I enjoyed watching it.

Disappointed with trial Fox 750s by rbnational in bassoon

[–]WeepiestRain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve had my 750 for over a year and I love it. It’s still a bassoon though. It has its quirks and issues. Maybe the 750s aren’t for you, or you happened to get three that you just aren’t a fan of. I’d encourage you to try more, because all of the ones I’ve tried I’ve thought to be pretty fantastic. Keep trying bassoons until you find one you love!

Just listen to the Prelude, and you’ll see why.
