Re: Reedual help- Model reed

"Does one need a square tipped reed for the best results?"

Not necessarily I use an old morre reed as my model and thus it shaped, if you will, at the tip. I run my reeds unclipped at the tip and clip the tip after I have given them shape that way I can play with them a little.

As Mr. Behn has suggested run a few reeds and see if they are coming out the same specs as you model. I have to admit that my model when i try and play it is awful but it is balanced really well and produces good reeds.

It took me a while to produce a reed that works just right for me, or so I like to think it works. Just a side I always just watch the master side reed and I ignore the left side that way I can follow the specific pattern that i have for making the reed.

Best of luck,
jeff
