 Re: why not make your own reeds?

just my 20 cents
I am strongly belive that any serious double reed player has to make his reeds.Period.I also belive that before you go to make your own reed your sence of tone must be pretty much developed.
The other think is that you going to sound same way on any kind of good reed just because your inner hearing will direct you to particular way of sounding-something that you yourself call "perfect tone".

Playing oboe is not chip hobby,so there is a lots of money must be invested in reedmaking,but results worth it!

I also think that anybody who is learning how to make his reeds must spend 2 hours each day at his reedmaking desk-otherwise choose yourself something different than playing double reed insrtument.
I myself play modern and baroque oboe,english horn and shalm,supplying my own reeds for all those butiful instruments.I am not using profiler-here i a bit oldfasioned,but i manage to make a handful reed in 15-20 minutes.
