Mark and Robin, what shapes do you use with your Glotin and Chiarugi 3 staples? I find that i have to work so extremely hard for the upper register with narrower staples but could never achieve success with bigger staples because of then sagging middle c and low g. I was not able also, to tie my -1 shape with the big staples simply because they are so extremely huge. I do play short scrape reeds and for that part it already is a problem for most people in the 2nd octave, so any suggestions, staple + shape wise is very much appreciated. Although i could do very well now without more help in the upper register setup wise, i do wish that i could in the future, when i someday find that "magical formula", ha!
Interesting to note is what Thomas Indermuhle recently spoke to me about, he doesn't really believe in using setups to solve problems in the 2nd octave. Rather, he has a technique of changing airspeed, quite remarkable, that does it well for him (still trying to learn it). He says that since there are not really any oboes that has much consistency in that register despite super reeds, there is not much to about it other than learning how to be consistent in our technique....
Mark, i heard that Marigaux staples are in fact Chiarugi no.2 staples, strange that it fits like Loree staples, because i remember them being different. But the consistency of all these companies leave me much in doubt most of the time anyways.
Regards,
Howard
