Re: Reed Making

Hey Bob W, the new reed-dual design is pretty expensive now. About $1000 plus. I know the man who took this business over, he's pretty talented. It's now a better machine, more accurate. I too use the home depot box! It takes me about 15 minutes to make a reed. I also like soaking the cane around 150 degrees then letting the tubes dry out for a few weeks. Soaking the reeds I feel can help a lot when breaking in your reeds. The cane is more stable. As we all know sometimes reeds play well at first, then then change a lot, causing the player to be a bit frustrated taking up valuable practice time adjusting the reeds.
