 Re: wire for Oboe reed

Hi,

I decided to wire some more reeds - since the winter dryness tends to close the reeds.

Pros: The pitch stability is excellent!

Cons: The upper register is stuffy and less sweet/free.

I am trying to fine a good (scrape) balance for the upper register with the wire.

So far I worked on 4 reeds with wires.

I found that if I twist the wire with pliers - the wire will snack and form a secure hook without the long braid. Depending upon the wire placement - it is very secure and you cane move it ever so slightly to adjust the tension.

Very interesting - this wire technique - it offers a lot of stability.

Back to more reed making .............................
