  • 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!
