 reeds - which side?
Author: lucyw 
Date:   2006-07-20 16:04

I hate to even ask this question but here goes.

My instructor has said that she plays the reed with the less woody side to her bottom lip. Can someone expand on this? I can see that one side of the oboe reed is thicker than the other, but how does this affect the playing? Or does it? Is it just easier to play on the thinner side? Also, if a reed is getting too soft, can you turn it around and play on the thicker side and make it last longer?

Thanks for any help.
