Hello all.

I’m looking for a reed-maker who lives in a climate (edit: not climax hehe)
that is closer to the one in Israel.

The moisture levels here right now (summer) are around 77%and the temperature is 30c-35c.

The reed is a Ray Sloan’s.

Thanks!

I wish I lived in a climax, those reedmakers have all the fun .

Forgive me, but I just couldn’t resist:

"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death. What’s that, a bonus?!?! I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you go live in an old age home. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day. You work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You drink alcohol, you party, and you get ready for high school. You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities. You become a little baby, you go back, spend your last 9 months floating with luxuries like central heating, spa, room service on tap, then you finish off as an orgasm!”

The reed is a Ray Sloan’s.

Here is a more sensible suggestion - contact your own maker for advice. He is living in France and that gets hot in the summer so should be able to assist

You might be best getting some that are nearly finished to do the final scrape/sand when the reeds have been in your CLIMATE (note correct spelling otherwise more idiots will join the ones above)

Does Arundo Donax grow in Israel - if you have a free supply from a local river then learn to make your own as the only cost is thread, staples and time

Judging from it’s nose and mouth, that bovine looks to be dead or severely anemic in that photo…or maybe it has fainted. Where’d the photo come from?

Well, I guess one spelling mistake can get these guys
excited eh?..

The pic was taken by my girlfriend while we were in Ireland, in the Cliffs of Moher’s grassy areas.
(oh and it was very much alive when she took the photo)

Thanks for the tip.

At least now I’ll never make that spelling mistake again…
