I no longer make reeds from scratch. I have excellent sources of reeds at reasonable prices. I like (1) David Cowdy (now he is selling through Howarth), (2) K Ge, and (3) On-line Oboe (http://www.oboecane.net/index.php, a Korean fellow who makes excellent reeds). Price is $25 and up per piece. They all use very hard cane. I buy medium sometimes medium-soft German style in the longest they offer. I just touch up to fit me and sometimes turn them into French or even long scrape styles. Rarely I waste a piece, and I think it is more economical to do so. Now most of my reed making tools are collecting dust in my draw. I do not miss them. I save lots of time and efforts, and all that reed hysteria. I have more time and attention to making music.
