 Re: Making short scrape European style oboe reeds easy

I have a gouger now, but only bought one brand of cane, which is a mistake, and I am finding very low yields at very early stages of the process, viz, after splitting. Like you said about 20% or less is decent to make reeds. As I am splitting, I am thinking to go down to a store to select the cane rather than have them ship whatever at random. Then any brand of cane I use would be a gamble.

I have had short pieces of cane bent so badly that it is even not worth the effort to split it and maybe save one piece. The piece that is saved also have the grains bent, and it would be hard to scrape, better to toss it out.

The cane I have is very soft and grainy, even after pre gouging, some breaks off during the process. During the actual gouging, more will break. I am actually getting less than 50% more like 2 or 3 in 10 make it through the gouge process. This is very dismal yield.

I may discard this cane and try a small quantity of other brands and see how they go. This is a disheartening experience especially I am all hyped up on actually gouging my own cane and having more control over my reeds, but now not getting the results I had expected.

Thanks for your input. Now I know, this is a relatively low yield process at the end of the day.
