Ya know, Fiona....I have a few smilies that remind me of Susie and Jess.....













They are soooo  cool, please, please tell me where I can get them as I will send one to each of my youngest two. Or can you send them to me.

How could I  be so unlucky as to have raging testosterone and oestrogen running rampant at the same time. I tell you, should I ever get to the "pearly gates"
I shall be having a few words !!!! We have just swapped one war zone, (the oldest) in our house, for another, the 2 younger ones starting puberty simultaneously. So it's back on with the hard hats, and dive for cover again !!!

Okay, I narrowed it down to antique can opener and tool for re-threading jar lids and I'm going with:

tool for re-threading jar lids

just b/c I've never heard of that before!   :)

Im not of topic........

What are clarinet reeds??

Sue, a clarinet reed is a small piece of cane which is attached to the mouthpiece of the instrument. It is attached to the mouthpiece by a small metal ring and screws. When air is blown into the clarinet the reed will vibrate and is partly responsible for producing the tone. The top part of the reed is very thin - it has to be thin in order to vibrate properly - but the bottom part is thicker so it can be clamped down tightly to the base of the mouthpiece.

Saxophones, oboes and bassoons also have reeds. In fact oboes and bassoons have double reeds, one on the top and bottom. Clarinets and saxophones have one single reed located on the underside of the mouthpiece and the mouthpiece itself is made of wood or plastic. :)

I couldn't find a decent picture of a clarinet reed but here is a picture of an bassoon reed...

Sounds like a very intiricate bit of structure of a piece of reed to me.  Far too precise for a tool like the one you have displayed.

But then again, you never know eh.

Im still sticking to my original answer.
