The consignment shop in town often has musical instruments in the window (mostly guitars), and I always look, because someday they're going to be selling a professional grade oboe for pennies, and I don't want to miss out. Anyway, this week I see a clarinet in the window. It's got two reeds fanned out on the black velvet, and when I look closer I see a reed still attached to the mouthpiece. The display of the reeds suggests they're considered a selling point: act now, and you get--not one--not two--but THREE reeds of unknown provenance! Ick.
