@Pipezilla Thanks! Yes; I ended my solo & band competing in 86 but kept active playing for Highland dancers, in stage band, street busking, weddings & funerals and more. I shaved down the lower end of the reed a little and fit it with a 2 wrap wire bridle like the uilleanns use, and set it up fairly easy so I could play any time even if I wasn't feeling my best. If I don't break it I'll play it the rest of my life.
..did a very good job.. thumbs up.. :-)

That was really nice. The tone is perfect. 25 yrs for one reed? Amazing.
