Heat-shrink tubing in English. I have used it, but found that the
tubing had a tendency to become loose after a while.

That great German name is "Schrumpfschlauch" - one of my favorite German
words! (Literally translated as "shrink tube").
Potratz sells them. I have tried them with limited success.... the wire
underneath has to be glued first, then you insert the reed into the tube
and hold it for a moment close to something hot (preferably no fire...)
and then it shrinks and puts itself more or less into its place.
However, my experience was that it made no difference from playing the
reed without any wrapping at all.=20

Some day I'll try a glue gun, I've heard other people endorse it. I just
hate wrapping reeds! Is the finished coating sort of soft (like wax,
duh!)?
And thanks for the nice comments about Frank's CD. I can't take that
much credit for it, it's Frank's show. I'm just a guest artist.
Anyone ever try those plastic sleeves that go on the tube? There's some
great German name for them - I can't find it right now. I was wondering
how you get the third wire underneath it to stay in place. They looked
funny, too.
