 Re: Reed making books for Beginners

Good advice would be to get the Jay Light book on reedmaking. There are a few secrets in there that I've not seen elsewhere.

My teachers did not cover the subject of reedmaking as well as I wished and sort of rarely discussed it. One was a grand student of Tabuteau and the other a student of Debuescher. Neither discussed knife sharpening.

One has to search out information from a variety of sources. I met Jerry Domer of the Vancouver orchestra and he gave me a most significant tip on reed making that I believe he learned from Ray Still, which made all the difference in the world. My teachers were not aware of it or didn't divulge it to me. The time spent on reeds can be enormous and the oboeist should try to learn to make reeds without using so much time.

Somehow, one must also learn how to sharpen the knife without making a career of it.

Good Luck!
