Re: Reed making tricks and tips

Hi
If you use heat shrinkable binders this probably won't work,
After I have put the wires on but before I bind the reed I bid the stem with Teflon tape. It does seem to stop leks developing. I bind to just below the first wire. My problem is in scraping; I think I am too heavy handed. Last time I made reeds I finished off with Reed Rush - it seems to make a better reed, and certainly leves them more comfortable in the mouth. If you've never used it, it is certainly worth a try.
