Thanks, I have more cane coming very soon, so I hope to use some of what I've learned here to try and get this together.
Additionally, does anyone adjust the staple before tying on reeds? Mr. Schneider is convinced that adjusting the slope, so that it does not taper much close to the cork, and tapers rather steeply at the tip will help my reedmaking. In fact, he adjusts all his staples, of which he gets in bulk at $1.15 a piece. He had a mandrel specially made for him to help achieve this. He gave me 4 staples to use myself, plus 1 reed he made and 1 he and I made together. I have adjusted my Chudnow CA staples to follow suit, ordering a smaller mandrel at assist (It is a normal mandrel, but the Chudnow mandrel I was using is larger because his staples are slightly larger).
