Re: Reed Making is Performance, not Preparation

I am proficient in making both types of reed - American scrape, and European. I often start with a European scrape and then dig out the back if I find the reed too heavy or unresponsive, with good results.

I have to say that there is no difference in the skills you need for either scrape.

The knife technique is the same for both, and in both cases the trick is knowing where to scrape to achieve your goal.
