Hi Oboe BB,

I like to add to the discussion on gougers. I just a had a conversation with Dan Ross on the gouge depth setting. He suggested that a reed with a thinner gouge would last longer.

From my own experience (through an unexpected error -when I inadvertently changed the depth setting to a very thin one >.57); I found it much easier to scrape and finish a reed. Less cane resulted in a quicker crow with less scrapes and the ability to quickly finish the reed. I was able to get consistent results comparable to previos reeds made with a thicker gouge.

The thinner gouge sound was flexible and warm.

Fom my experience cane selection is the most important part of the process.

I'm just exhausted over two kilos of cane which I used over many years. I have had the most diffiuclt time finding a suitable replacement supply.

If the piece of cane has built in to it all the proper attributes. Reed making becomes quite easy. If not - you can scrape and fiddle forever!

Mark
