Scientists aad Musicians Scarcity of reeds for woodwind musical instruments has resulted in efforts to produce them in this country, reports the United States department of agriculture. The best reeds in the past have come from cane grown in southern France. Recently musicians have found that equally good reeds can be made from the giant reed, or "reed-cane" (Arunda donax), grown in our Southwest. As a further aid to the musicians, the Agricultural Research administration scientists have (found a tasteless chemical, ethyl cellulose, that waterproofs the reeds, thus increasing their utility and life. The scientists say musicians have reported satisfactory results with treated reeds in clarinets, oboea, and other instruments. SEWER CLOGGED?
