 American scrape for a baroque reed
Author: oboi

Has anyone experimented with an American scrape on a baroque oboe reed? Sound characteristics aside, I'm at my wit's end trying to make a playable baroque reed (long scrape, heartless [indeed!!! grrr]) and thought about just scraping like I normally do and checking out the effects. For fun, I've stuck an EH reed onto the bottom staple and it sounds thin (and at A-440) but nothing disasterous. So if I used the proper cane on the proper staple but just scraped like I normally do, at least I'd be able to knowingly adjust response/pitch, I think.

Or, if one of you know.... what might be the cause of constant squeaking on the D, Eb and E on the staff? I don't think it is (always) the half-hole, covering up tone holes issues, but it does happen a lot in faster passages and moreso on particular reeds. It is not an over/under-blowing issue. Other than these 3 problematic notes, I can decently play the instrument. The lack of these 3 notes, though, mean I can't perform it in public.
