I was think about how many revered parking places some stores and shopping centers have. The necessary Handicapped, employee of the month, loading, hybrid cars, personswith young children, police, 10 minuet only and others. I have never seen a parking spot in the furthest out spots marked...

Hey, I meant to ask you whether you ever tried the oboe or saxophone?

Speaking of which. For those of you who park in the farthest spots, seeking to protect your vehicles ...
... make sure it isn't downhill.

Nope. My only reed venture. Recorder, baritone, tuba, trumpet and mountain dulcimer.

I have never seen a "10 minuet only" parking place. Outside a formal dance hall, perhaps?

It was a local music store that gave music lessons. It was for dropping off and picking up students.

I have found that putting Heather Alexanders “Midsummer” on is a wonderful way to prevent people from lingering in my office. :)

Tuba and trumpet are embouchure instruments. Your lips provide the vibration for the column of air.
I had thought you would find it easy to extend your mastery to other reed instruments. The reed end, after all, is where the work is done to allow the melody to come out.

The bagpipe is rather unlike other reed instruments. The function of the mouth (and everything behind it) is merely to supply a stream of air under constant pressure. The constant pressure is set using the bag, with the arm pressing on it to set the pressure.
Initially the student piper learns to listen to the drones (and chanter) to avoid the variation in tone that comes from pressure shifts. Later (and relatively soon), I believe, it becomes learned through the feeling of the arm itself.
Once your lips become strong enough to hold onto the blowpipe for extended periods of time, it's the bag arm that becomes the "weak point." I remember a time when I would get 1-hour gigs, constantly playing, that my left arm would be sore for a couple of days after.
The single-reed instruments (clarinet etc.) apparently use the mouth on the reed to achieve effects. I'm less sure of the other "uncapped" double-reeds such as oboe. But even the "capped" reeds (krummhorn et al) have rests, which no bagpipe has.
But I've always had an affinity for wind instruments, valved or fingered. Strings are a totally different realm. Even where they drone, like the mountain dulcimer.

Yes. It’s awful, isn’t it? I’d much rather still be asleep.
