Re: Ross Gouge-Flatness/Spread Tone

Don't forget that a Ross gouge is not set up,to be a double radius gouge (gouges off-center thus creating a sling in the Reed built into the gouge). Not sure whether the Ferillo is a single or double radius gouge, but this may have something to do with your pitch.

Scrape the tip and hence entire Reed with the thought of building a larger spine and see if the flatness issues get better.
