 New Shaper Tip Try
Author: mjfoboe

Hi,

I decided to try the Lucarelli shaper tip. My teacher had one - she bought the shaper tip from him in the eighties.

Well, the shaper tip has more belly to it as comapred to my rdg -1.

So I make three reeds... the sound is very lush .. I am very impressed ... except - the upper register is always slightly flat and feels less fleixible.

That belly which gives so much more resonance in the middle register ... is another animal in the upper registers (second octave key).

My narrower rdg -1 sings like a bird in the upper regiser .... but lacks the depth in the middle as compared to the Lucarelli shaper tip.

What a world!

Copmments? suggestions?

Mark

After measuring the shaper tip by my micrometers .... I don't think I used a Lucarelli Shaper Tip. It is wider than the dimensions on the comparison chart.
