Thank you too!
My wife did those pictures to put her photography training to the test.
You can find her on Facebook (JiJiPhotography) or at JiJiPhotography.ca
=> she just explained to me that cloudy days (esp. outside) are the ideal lighting condition for detailed photography. Sunny days and bright/directed artificial create harsh shadow conditions.
=> the course I took on computer-vision explained that pocket cameras would provide clear pictures with certainty.
A couple of months ago, I was informed that "American Scrape" is not a clean-cut concept (many oboists will do it differently) so the "catch" is not necessarily necessary. Same goes for what I call Euro-scrape: "German" or "French" can mean a lot of things and sometimes the line between them can be blurry. (I never saw/read any formal descriptions of English scrape.)
As for sharpening, if you have a system that works - one where the knife helps you do what you want rather than making you fight it - then stick with it. Otherwise, my blog also has info and demos on what works for me (and practically all of the world's wood-working community for the past couple of millennia).
A free downloadable book in there explains why this is.... and also, indirectly, by extension, why some reed-makers are dead-opposed to these methods.

So good show to you again and do keep us informed of your progress. I really like you as an example that the oboe can't be so impossible to play. You're the one who was absent from music for 20 years, right/wrong? So if you're doing OK, that means the enjoyment of the instrument is in the reach of MANY people!
=> keep us abreast!
