Re: Does anyone sell short scrape reeds in the US or Canada?

I used to buy my reeds off eBay from a reedmaker in Korea whose reeds were 99% ready to go straight from the profiling machine with very little fettling needed doing to them, so search eBay for Chiarugi No.2 (or No.2+) and you'll find them for sale individually or in packs of 10, 20 and 30 which works out far less costly than buying reed blanks or part scraped reeds. Check the different pricing as they're sold under several currencies and the exchange rate may be in your favour on other currencies besides the US$.

I still use his cor reeds as Legere still haven't released their synthetic cor reed (I no longer use cane reeds in favour of Legeres on all other woodwinds).

The other options if you want to go synthetic are Legere or Silverstein Ambipoly as they're both offered with European U scrape.
