Re: "Soggy Reeds"

Update,

Here's a conundrum:

I went back and gouged cane with a wider cane diameter. And The reed I just made vibrates just fine.

The reed opening is good too.

I think the very narrow cane did not sit well in the gouger bed and thus was not gouged properly. The problem reeds used cane that was 10 mm or less. The cane I just used is 10.5 - 10.75.

One more thing - I adjusted the gouger depth to a thinner gouge - which I used before the problems - .57 rather than .59/.60.

I use a single blade gouger.

Comments???? Observations?
