Re: Reed making tricks and tips

Uhm, the reed rush idea is interesting. I'm going to give that a try. I usually finish off my reeds with a very smooth sandpaper. That seems to smooth them out nicely. Also works good if you just want to take a wee bit of cane off for an adjustment.

With your scraping, do you use a knife or a file?

I usually wrap my reeds with thread and then two coats of duco cement.

For some reason I usually end up with one really strong blade and the other blade weaker. I haven't quite figured out what causes this yet (this is before finishing).
