The Oboe BBoard

Re: Cor Anglais reeds...

Author: WoodwindOz  Date:   2012-10-02 20:45 Chris's advice is exactly what I would do. I play short scrape as well, and all my current reeds are 57.5-58. My wire is sitting around 7-8mm above the thread. It needs to be higher on a cor reed than an oboe reed (if you play on a wired oboe reed) - think proportions! I possibly rely on the wire a little more than I should, but I so far have had no response/tone/tuning issues. Wire on a short scrape cor reed can be your best friend for the opening of the tip! And, having played on both a Howarth S20 and a Fox 510, I personally found that if I got the E (concert A) spot on, I had to work to keep other notes up to pitch. When making/adjusting your reeds, still work with fingered A as your reference, rather than a concert A. Have fun! I'm not playing cor this semester and I miss it already... :( Rachel
