Dave -- Congrats on your Contra -- a recent acquisition, no? Thanks for explaining how one does the transposition to read off the tuba parts.

Ken -- when you say sand the "bottom" of the reed, do you mean the narrow side opposite the tip or the side that contacts the mouthpiece? I have trouble with reed warpage with my Grand Concerts for bass clarinet, but I've only ever sanded the side that goes into my mouth. They still warp and it drives me nuts.

(I've studied Larry Guy's book on reeds but it fails to communicate with me effectively -- I need someone to show me!)
