I wish I could make high quality reeds. I did try at one point but became overwhelmed and discouraged. I got as far as tying the cane to the tube but the scraping process was a whole other animal. What's a high quality cane to use? What are the best tubes to use? What does each scrape pattern (V, U, W) sound like and when to use them? How much is personal preference vs. good common knowledge? So many variables when it comes to reed making!
Yes, definitely. Message me with more detail like when you need it by and what you're looking for in a reed. I also do lessons over Skype if you interested.
exactly!

This is just what I was looking for. A lot of my friends ask me how to make reeds and it's just way too long and complicated to explain in words. :-)

Nice to know. =D Do you charge per lesson or? I can't say I wouldn't use a few useful advices.

Yes I do, I'm pretty flexible with time and content to suit your needs.

I'm not sure what the song is. I just grabbed it off another youtube video.

Mack++ is a good tip, but I'm still an RDG -1 user.
Your desk is amazingly neat for an oboist. Mine is a complete and total mess.

what is this song called?

Sure, it depends on many variables. If the blank is up to high standards the scape can occur faster. Having a good gouge is a big part of it too!
