John,

I am in touch with Dan. Before I send the gouger back - I will try to scrape some new reeds and see what success I have with the cane.

You know - I have tried to control so many variables. This new one is really interesting as well as frustrating....................... THE CURVE OF THE BLADE ... sounds like a horror movie - LOL.

I wonder about all the people who buy gouged cane. How do they know what the gouge really is all about?

So one more variable to consider in reed making. And I thought I had most of it under some control! What an illusion....................

I see now that even gouging - similar to reed construction is a science unto itself. My new mantra is not where is the perfect reed - but where is the perfect blade curve!

Mark
