Re: Reed working video?

I think trying to learn to make/adjust reeds off a video is sort of like watching a youtube video to learn how to fly an airplane.

I have purchased a few videos to see if people had any "tricks" or golden nuggets of information, but by and large they did nothing but reinforce what I already know.

The oboe reed making dvd by Linda Walsh was EXTREMELY well done, and while it really focuses on the short scrape reeds, it was really cool to hear all the interviews with various oboists on reeds. I wish this kind of thing would be on the history channel...

Sorry to disappoint, but I think you're just going to have to find a teacher.
