 Re: Why oboe?

Hi Robin,
Excellent question as to whether an EH reed is fundamentally different from an oboe reed or oboe d'amore reed. The easy reply is that I simply do not know- I have never thought of this. Perhaps my friend Cooper Wright would know.
Personally, I use either Albion "Select" cane for EH or a stock of "LaMott" cane from the 1950s and the Gilbert -1 shape. I find a fairly narrow shape work best, though best to avoid a "toothpick" shape reed as Wally Bhosys would say.
I find the commercial Glotin shape to be far too wide.
Almost every EH reed I begin eventually will play "just so."
My EH reed have a very long back, pronounced spine, pronounced shoulders giving support (tapering) all the way to the corner of the lay, a moderately heavy heart, a very long lay having very smooth, gentle blending from the back to the tip across the lay. Nothing "choppy" at all.
I do teach reed making if you happen to be in the Pacific Northwest...
