oh, i just assumed all knew i was talking about highschool band instruments, which in my case, were shared, so it wasn't practical to ensure every other user (i think there were 6 classes) is following etiquette...we even shared mouthpieces...it's possible that the water (that we used to rinse them before each session) may have had issues, but i suppose it helped me build up a decent immune system

i think those who played reed instruments bought and brought their own reeds

well, i just got the kid a baritone recorder..maybe i'll monitor it's aroma over time
