Robin:
I am thinking of gouging my own cane, see my new topic posts, wonder if you have any good recommendations for a gouger and the brand of tools I need to get, where to get them and got much they cost...
Yes, goosey with the quack sounds terrible, that is what I thot, that you cant mean a literal goose call.
You are right, the purpose of doing different sounds is to "fit" the music of the period...that is why I need to experiment. Recently, I had to do Stravinsky "Rite of spring", and the "goosey" sound that I normally use, doesnt quite fit the modern, picasso like piece with a lot of offball type sounds eg typewriter...Rachmaninoff, was also a "no fit" for my sound.
My early music training was more of a baroque bias, with Bach, Telemann etc, and the latest in terms of period would be a Mozart. So, I am not multi period flexible in terms of my reeds. That is why, I probably need to change my style of making reeds and ultimately having more control of my reed making, hence, going the gouger direction. I am sure you battle with the same, being multi period capable in your musical career and interests.
