Short-scrape shapes

Author: WoodwindOz

I have got my reedmaking to a fairly consistent point now, and I am interested in experimenting with various shapes.

Currently I am using K.Ge cane (gouged and shaped) as it is very consistent in our climate and easy to work with. This means I am also using K.Ge's own shapes. I have been experimenting with their two shapes and I am beginning to gravitate towards a particular kind of shape now, and I know what gouge thickness works for me.

I would like to work with other types of cane, but I have no idea what other shapes are used by those who play short scrape. All I know is that the short scrape reed tends to be wider than the long scrape.

What are the main 'short scrape friendly' shapes out there? What are their characteristics? What should I measure on my own cane to find other shapes that are a similar proportion to mine? Is there a good website anywhere that compares shapes?

Thanks again,

Rachel
