Help please. I am trying to get my facts right for a unique, definitive guide about the oboe reed. When US oboists deliberately slip the blades, it is debatable in which direction the thread tensions are actually pulling: probably, since the lower tail of the shaped cane is pulled towards oneself, the upper blades rotate around a fulcrum to display the lower left edge anyway. What I understand is agreed, is that for a Right-hander to slip a reed, the tail of the Upper blade must be offset to the Right.
Question: in which direction way please do Left-handers initially offset the blade? The same, or the opposite? To the Left or the Right? Answers gratefully accepted, but please, no theories based only on speculation. Thank you.
