Solo Competition

Qicai has announced that he will not take part in the solo competition. Whether it is a good or bad news, still depends.

People told me that to participate in the solo competition (if there is one), you have to play solos which have band arrangement. What the hell...

Can you expect someone like me, who has just played English horn for one week, to know what English horn solo that has band accompaniment?

Really need help!!! (edited: just realised that there may not be solo competition)

And I can feel that the cor anglais reeds is going toward peak season already. That means sooner or later this reed will start to go downhill, and that means that I have to seek for new reeds already.

Who can find me a cor anglais reed?
