Hi Rachel,
Thanks so much for your answer! I order gouged and shaped cane and I don't know enough to specify dimensions. Unless I request differently, he sends RDG 1 shaper size. The gouge is .60 at center and cane diameter is 10.50
I tie on at 73 mm and am careful on leaks. I now start the scrape at 60 mm and after thinning, I have recently been cutting at 69, then I extend the scrape field 3 more mm. giving me 11. With these dimensions I peep a C sharp, crow a C sharp and play an in tune C in the oboe.
Without fail, if I cut at 71, it peeps a B flat and crows a B or A sharp. If I leave it at 71, every note on the scale is flat. I have no idea what transpired the other evening at band practice when the reeds collapsed.
When I was trying the long scrape, I was still flat.
Things are slow to figure out from a distance. When I was in Atlanta, the resources were plentiful.
Any other ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Robert
