 Re: over-soaking reeds?

Such books are very valuable: highly informative to oboists who already have a lot of experience and years of reedmaking on many different techniques.

But learning from pictures leaves out understanding what causes which effects and how many conditions change the effects. This can only be learned by making reeds with different experts in person. Books do help - and they can be valuable references - but paragraphs can be understood out of context and incorrectly generalized.

Many of my colleages, past and present, professional and fervent amateur, follow Mr/s ABC's techniques like the Bible to the exclusion of even trying anything else => these same excellent players would always complain that it's difficult to play the instrument and that good tuning and dynamic range hurts. The more experimentally-minded professionals in my acquaintance never express such complaints but enjoy their playing.

So do consult the books, but remember that the picture describes that particular reed, not necessarily the one you're working on.
