Re: reeds - which side?

I agree with d-oboe, none of my teachers has ever suggested doing any embouchure work away from the oboe. It just takes a lot of practice and experimentation to arrive at an embouchure that works and allows you to play with enough endurance. I wouldn't waste my time doing exercises away from the oboe since it's possible that what works away from the oboe may not work for actual music making. A good crow is nice but no one will buy a ticket to hear it.

WRT reeds, I try to make my reeds balanced on both sides although I do clip with a razor blade and there is a very slight difference in the length of the blades as a result, but I don't pay any attention to it, I just stick it in the oboe and play.
