 Re: To gouge or not to gouge

hey thanks for the encouragement, Craig.

Fortunately if one's muscles are working, numb fingers are not the worst for an oboist -- clarinet's harder for me -- but I have found that screw adjustments get out of whack as I tend to apply too much pressure when playing.

I'll keep my antennae posed for quality affordable gougers that cross my path (but probably won't go hunting for them).

In spite of everything I am moving more into music as a mid-life career change. So you can see how your kind words would inspire and help me: if I end up making tons more reeds (which I do enjoy) for myself and fledgling students, then investment in a gouger might be the Right Thing To Do.

Happy playing! I enjoyed the Oxymoro recording.
