Re: Ross Gouge-Flatness/Spread Tone

Hi,

I recommend contacting Dan and explaining the situation with him. I believe he can adjust the curve of the blade for you .... to adjust for pitch and other attributes. When I switched from my Loree to my Marigaux Dan adjusted my blade curve for me.

Also check the gouge with a micrometer ... Dan sets his at .58 in the center ... you might prefer a different center thickness..... .60?

At one time I thought about buying a Ferrillo gouger; however, when I told him I played a Marigaux he discouraged me from doing so. Also When I switched Oboes I changed/adjusted my scrape and staples. Different strokes for different folks ..... there are so many different variables and preferences in tone production.

Sometimes ... I think the heck with the tone just give me the response and flexibility I need to play expressively~!

Mark
