Windows in oboe reeds

Forgive if this has been discussed before. I am pretty new to this BBoard and don't see it in view...

I would be interested in hearing thoughts on using windows in oboe reeds.

My first teacher taught me about them and used a 'staggered' placement with the left window a bit above the right window on a given side. They did line up in similar positions from side blade to blade.

Since him, I've only ever seen them placed evenly side-to-side.

I use a fairly typical american scrape ala the reeds in the David Weber manual.

I would be interested to hear other's thoughts about them, placement, hate vs love them, etc. Whatever.

Do players using non-american scrapes do them or have a different technique to share?

Thanks,

-Craig
