Subj: [kl] How to make a reed
Date: Sun, 17 Mar 2002 01:14:26 -0500

Well.... I found a tongue depressor in one of my scrap drawers and I've
cut myself a blank. I don't want to buy a book and a bunch of tools
--- this project is just a 'lark', not a serious project --- but I know
that a few of you make your own reeds.

It's just a matter of filing and sanding and scraping until the bottom
half (below the shoulder) of the reed is thin enough to flex, with one
side flat and the other side with a slight hump (spine) along its
length, right?

Thanks,
Bill
