Reed Tips
Well,
first off, sorry for the play on words here, but what the
heck. Here are some reed tips, or "Tips to help you make
better oboe reeds."
This
is the section of the site which will be updated every week.
Remember
that by subscribing to the Making
Oboe Reeds Newsletter, you will have access to even more
free info on oboe reed making.
So
let's start off by looking at some oboe
reed photos. You can't tell that much by looking at a
photo of a reed, however it might be interesting to see.
The
"crow" of the reed is where most of the information
is, so learn how to crow the
reed properly. This will help you learn to balance the
reed.
Some
of the oboe reed tips which I am prparing are articles on
tying the blank, and basic methods of using the knife to scrape
the reed.
