So I scraped 5 reeds this week and I left them in various states of completion; although they all are playable.
Today I had my lesson and I devoted most of the time to go over each of the reeds with my teacher
The major question: How to maintain a core warm tone with flexibility.
Well two observations:
The first is that my reeds made from softer cane just could not do the job.
The second is that I needed to scrape more wood from the reeds: thinner tip-tips, more from the heart and sides, and from the back windows. The reeds I made didn't have enough low vibrations in the crow.
The softer cane did not work because it could not maintain a firm reed as I scraped off the cane. The cane was too weak.
So now I have a few very good reeds and 1 excellent reed.
So it seems you have to take off lots of wood but must have a cane that is able to support a finely scraped reed. And of course you must have a good balance among all the scraped areas.
I would like to attach a pic; however, the bulletin board prevented me from doing so.
