 Re: wire for Oboe reed

Yes, I would use a wire to close a reed that was too open.

I find trying to prop a reed open with wire to be an exercise in futility.

Note that there may well be a difference if the reed was wired originally (by the maker). In this case, propping a reed open may work. Since I only play on my own reeds which are unwired, it has never worked for me.

There is a way to prop reeds open by crimping the staple under the thread (parallel to the blades of the reed, about 2-3 mm back - use snipenose pliers and a loose mandrel) but I haven't done this for ages. It is easier to cut the thread, throw out the spent cane and make a new reed, though I admit it has taken me years to get to a level of proficiency where I can make a reed quickly and with confidence.
