A Note from Maryn

Monday 10:53 AM
The HOTTEST Corner of Chicago

It’s hard to believe that the new school year is just around the
corner. I know that I think that every year, but it really seems
like time is speeding up.

Now if you’ve seen the news, you know that the heat wave in
Chicago is STILL raging on. The only one who seems to love it is
my little dog Emma.

She is part Saluki, a.k.a. “The Royal Dog of Egypt.” Salukis are
an old breed often found buried with the pharaohs in Egyptian
tombs.

She obviously knows about her heritage, because she acts like she
is some sort of royalty. Her “private” chair in our living room
is just one example.

At any rate, she deals with this heat a lot better than I do.

So if you call and she picks up, don’t be surprised… I have
trouble thinking straight once the temperature gets over 98
degrees. 🙂

Now let’s get to the good stuff…

The Reed Tip
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mandrel-style reed cases are those that hold the reeds
on little posts that stick up into the bottom of the corks.

These cases are often less expensive than ribbon-style
cases, but you pay the price by getting less protection for
your reeds. Reeds on mandrel posts can flop around inside
the reed case and easily chip and break. It’s worth the
few extra dollars to get a secure, well made, ribbon-style
case to better protect your reeds.

Oboe Reed Trivia
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Each week we feature a bit of oboe trivia to help keep your oboe
brains sharp. Sometimes the questions are easy, sometimes they
are not so easy.

Each Friday night, all of the correct answers we receive from all
of you are put into a hat and one lucky winner is chosen to
receive a special prize.

Congratulations to last week’s trivia winner, Liz Reineke!

Liz, just let us know via email where you would like your
prize sent.

Here’s this week’s question:

What’s the average length of an American scrape oboe reed – from
the bottom of the staple to the tip of the reed?

Submit your answers via email to [email protected] by Friday at
5:00PM CST to be included in the drawing.

Good luck!

Thanks for reading. Until next time…

Happy playing,
