HautboisJJ:

Thx for the input.

You said: Generally speaking, the French scrape typically is around 8 mm, extremely short and so to retain the qualities of the reed while having more ease, try not to lengthen the scrape unless it is a last resort. If you have a micrometer the tip of the reed at the middle should not be more than .12 (depending on the gouge) and the corners of the tip can be much less. to ease the reed, make sure there is no pronounced step from the tip to heart, in other words, make it as smooth as possible, but with a sort of an angled slope. To generally make it easier, just scrape the lay area (left and right of spine) in an outwards motion on each side until you achieve the ease you want. In general, all short scrape reeds favour not a distinct thin spine like American reeds, but a "big fat" spine that is not visible as a one line but more like an "area" of spine with no clear distinction from the sides. (meaning the spine blends into the sides). "

Based on this, I have some sort of SAFE start to making my reeds playable.
