Re: Batch Reedmaking

I second d-oboe in the 'fewer reeds, but more often' theory as I can't concentrate on making reeds for long stretches of time. Also, what I realise is that when I do something right or wrong on reed-making, I would still have fresh memories of them when I work on the next one in the next few days.

However, tying is a different matter.. I would tied as many as possible before my hands hurt from the string tension. Then I would take my time to scrape them. Besides, if I ever need to make a reed in an emergency situation, its good to know that I have blanks to work with.
