 Re: wider shaper tip ... embouchure

Well,

I compared the tone from the reeds made from the wider RDG 1 to the ones made on the 80's Lucarelli shaper tip. The Lucarelli Shaper tip is wider than the RDG 1.

The tonal properties are superior with the Lucarelli shape.

All the reeds are now up to pitch. The only adjustment I made was a slighter shorter tip. From 4mm sides and 3 mm center - to slightly less 4mm on sides and 3mmm in the center.

I really believe my new gouge blade curve and past oboe tunings ... as well as greater skill has enabled me to go back to a wider shaper tip. I no longer have any problems with pitch stability.

I also believe ... since I do not have perfect pitch .... that my solfege lessons (fixed do) also improved my playing.

So I think it's back to a wider shape ..... I'll experiment to see which one suits me the best and my Marigaux Oboe.

Mark
