for every one who can, they should learn basic reed-making: my own reeds satisfy me better than any I've bought (with only one exception, and that one is dying!) in the past 30 years.
I respect anyone who plays with bought reeds too, but I can't afford the (worthy) quality myself.
Of course, I do not crank them out, it takes me eaons to finish one, but in the end, I'd rather play my own reeds.
If it's any comfort, I still stick with the shape and size of cane I started with, those long years ago. Someone who teaches reed-making, I think it's Light, says to eliminate the variables. That seems to be true: when you find what works, stick with it.
'to thine own self be true' was written (unknowingly) to baby reed-makers.
