Problem with Reeds Flaring apart

Author: DrewSorensenMusic

Hello Everyone,

So a consistent problem I am having is my tied on reeds, once I scrape and clip the tip, flare apart instead of staying closed together. It happens very consistently, on 95% of my reeds. Would you consider this a gouge problem? Or is it my tying? My tubes are 46mm and in general I stop wrapping between 45mm to 46mm. I am now experimenting with using plumbers tape wrapped around the reed to close it, but I would like to find the solution that stops the cane from spreading apart in the first place.

I purchase shaped cane.

Thanks

Drew S.
