 Re: Something CJWright said really set me off...

A very minute clipping of the corners of the reed at the beginning of the reed-scraping process was taught to me early in my oboe studies. I recall that the rationale was that the very thin corners are vulnerable to damage which could negatively affect the reed later. By clipping the corners at the outset, the reed is then made and balanced without whatever properties the existence of complete corners would provide, and would not undermine any existing balance in the reed. I also try to overlap the blades at the outset, so that often the clipping of the corners is only a clipping of the corner of the overlapped blade.
