Hey, thanks for the info.

I'm glad my tricks helped, out: it's ironic because those of my former colleagues who went American did so to get the warm/dark sound!

I have to update the pictures: I forgot the scrape where it's basically pure French or pure German, but with all the bark removed.... bassoon style (yes, anywhere from 68 to 74mm length). Also very warm tone. You do this when the reed essentially plays just right, but you have to bite like a bear.

From what you say, I'll want Ledet's book too. Roseau Chantant sells one which I suppose is French-oriented. If your other one discusses sound quality, then I'm also interested.

Again, ironically, my 2 warmest/darkest sounding reeds are done on RDG -1 shapers! Wider tips (I actully have a number of oboe reeds on oboe d'amore shapes) have that "goosey" quality that I can`t describe in words.

I'm working to combine the two and approximate the baroque oboe sound. Albrecht Mayer has done so by getting his instrument manufacturer to change the design of the Modern oboe itself, its bore and its bell --- nice to be rich and famous! If you have a chance, do a You-tube search for him and look at the documentaries (in German: I learned basic 20 years ago, forgot it since, but the video is self-explanatory).

My goal (already acheived - now just exploring as much as I can) is to describe the most natural method of reed making so that it is easy to make soft/hard stable reeds that play (in tune) with the sound you want.
