What is the length of your finished reeds?

It may surprise you how short the reed can/needs to be.

52 -54 mm for the most part. All my finished reeds fall into that range regardless of source and shape. I do not gouge or shape the ehorn cane because commercial stuff seems to work well already.

The reed I played on this recording is 52 mm finished.

I was taught the trick to intonation is to know the playing test for you instrument in terms of reeds. By that I mean one or two important notes that signal when things are coming into line.

For my Loree ehorn, its the 2nd octave f# and g... they really must not sag (reguire no biting).

Anyway, I learned that from a pro ehorn teacher in the US Natl Orchestra years ago and it serves me well.
