Oboe reed burning

This was going to be a very good reed. As I did the last stroke on it, the surface cracked.
Hey, why not have some fun with it?

i burn my reed... not intentionally, there was a flappy plastic which was very annoying, so i decided to let it stick by heating it over fire, then i burnt it.

hahahaha frustrated reed maker! instead of swearing your head off.. why not try burning it instead xD

What a monstrous way to end a reeds life. But since it cracked, it must of felt amazing to just watch it burn.

@ellze17 lol wish i could, it seems like a really cool place. but im from Vermont(next to new york, in america) so yeah... plus the fact that we have to pay 6% tax means its expensive. my music teacher orders them, but i have to be the one who pays...

@For3ver123 Well then cane for making reeds is ridiculously overpriced wherever you are. Come to England :)

[For3ver123]

@ellze17 uhh... im not from england so its different

[ellze17]

@For3ver123 In England shop bought ones range from £7 for a beginners one to well over £20 for more professional ones. Hand made ones are actually much cheaper. Once you've bought the equipment (one-off cost) reeds can be made for about £1 each for beginners (if you reuse the staples) to about £2.50 - £3 if you buy more expensive cane, for more experienced players. So actually making your own reeds is cheaper than buying them, also more reliable because you know exactly how you like them scraped
