Subj: Re: [DR-L] Hitch knot to finish binding on reeds
Date: Tue, 6 Apr 2004 15:24:59 -0400

It well demonstrated by photos and text in The Art of Oboe Playing, by
Sprenkle and Ledet. That's how I learned it. I was used to doing macrame,
too, and kinda knew what a half-hitch and double half-hitch knot was.

I used to do 2, but now do 3 and also add a dap of Okay To Wash It glue for
added insurance against unraveling, which only has happened to me 2x.

(Incidentally, we are having a summer like day here - the tulips are popping
through - windows open; ah-h, Spring!!)

Cheers,
Miriam in WI
