A. Reed switches can be used in conjunction with magnets on a rotating wheel to create a rotary encoder, that can be decoded using digital logic and quadrature decoding. A simpler but similar application is to use one switch and magnet to get a rough estimate for rotational velocity, by measuring the differences between edges of the switch signal.

What clarinet reed brand do you recommend?
Q. I'm an 8th grade clarinet player, and I usually play on a medium hard reed. What reed brands do you recommend? The reed I'm using now that really works is La Voz, but do you have any better recommendations?

A. I personally prefer Rico. My band director buys Vandoren and they take forever to break in and pretty much right after I break them in they chip or crack and I have to get a new one. I've been using Rico ever since I started clarinet in 5th grade, and I don't think I would switch to any other! :)

A. Usually there is a paper or plastic wrapping you have to remove first. Then you uncork the top. Be careful not to tip the bottle when you do this as some oil may spill out. You may have to pull really hard to get the top off--they really out them on good. If you put your thumb under one side of the cork and PUSH it might work! Good luck!
