Thanks for your response. I need 2 more questions.
At what distance you tie the rigoutat -2 shaper form in chudnow staple 47 mm?.
You have micrometer measurements of your scrape?.I use a Rieger micrometer.
Finally, I add your email addres to my messenger, is posible 1 time we can talk.

Hello again
I have to admit I am not big fan of micrometers)))
Cane is different.It takes me about 5-8 minutes to scrape the reed ,than I smoke good cigarette,and finish it for another 5 minutes))
I think it's about 0.1 at the tip and 0.40 at the center... but it may vary.
Sometimes I make sort of windows at the back, sometimes I make very long tip area,it depends in a lot of factors.
The main goal is to be able to play with mouth opend no biting ,but solid coverring of the lips
I also use to make everything by hand -no profilers or digital devices
-2 i tie at 74 mm for the blank and I open reed not by cuttingbut by inserting metal plaque between the blades of the blank,and sometime I even don't cut it after
I strongly belive that we must spend as less as possible time with the reeds,but develop ability to adjust ourself for everything we have
I also not big fan of a dark-dull non flexible tone))
Here I not pretend to be right as you may know now it's a big thing around the world,but **** it ))
I'll be happy to share more if you wish
