 Re: Reed Tying - Pitch stability

I agree that the 'tie' is VERY important. Probably more important (to me) than the length of staple, or the metal used in the staple, or the overall length of the reed when finally Done.

Probably being old-fashioned, I want to tie my reeds entirely by hand, and examine every turn of the thread. I look at the reed sideways, longways, every way possible to ensure that it's symmetrical. Still, I end up with a few 'abnormals' and these... tend to leak or pose problems.

I seldom overlap; most of the time, I find I don't need to.

The arch has somewhat to do with the gouge and type of cane used (not to mention the shape). But you're right, if you have a decent 'oval' shape once you cut the tip, it's a GOOD sign.
