Re: making reeds for a tiny oboe mouthpiece

Diz,

Sorry but I don't know how to do that. I bought it used in January and had Morrie Backun personally overhaul it. Actually he called and said that he had checked the SN with Leblanc and been told that the instrument was once in their corporate collection. So Morrie did as little remedial work as necessary-pads for sure and a spring or two-and left all else in pristine condition to preserve value. The clarinet uses a Vandoren #3 and it sounds wonderful. I'm a low reed man (e.g. contra-alto, contra-bass, alto, and bass clarinet owner/player) and weigh 260# with big hands, but I still manage to play the little guy decently IMHO. It's in my collection and will be passed onto my daughters and their children. Again, sorry I can't provide a sound byte!

Best regards,

LCL
