 Reed Tying - Pitch stability
Author: mjfoboe

After many reeds ....................... and improved embouchure and a wonderful tuned Oboe I have come to the conclusion that reed pitch stability is very much associated with the shape of the touching blades and reed opening after tying the cane to the staple.

I noticed that when the can forms a certain arch - oval - as a shape on the staple (opening cutting the tip) the success for a very good reed becomes more assured.

Thoughts ............... Maybe we take tying the cane and cane selection as less important than the scrape etc ................ I think not! I find that tying is the first and most important crucial step.

Which brings up many questions on the most important factors in tying the cane to the staple - a process which seems realtively straight forward.

(By the way I do not intentionally overlap my reeds. If there is an overlap it is quite minimal.)

The reed with the proper tie and arch has the stability to play with a relaxed (forward) embouchure with pitch stability.

Thoughts on this observation?!?
