Well done! I learned to tie with my oboe professor, but as I am in the US, I had to feel my own way around the short scrape. I now play exclusively on my own reeds, which I am both amazed and a little proud of. It is a good feeling, isn't it?

I too prefer K.Ge, but obviously use a wider shape for short scrape. I recognise your thread - I have the same spool! If you are scared of the ties slipping, I a) run beeswax through the thread before tying and b) put a dot of clear nail polish on the tie if I still feel it is going to slip. You can then cut it as flush as you want.

Oboe1, do you mean the Ledet Oboe Reed Styles book? I am fascinated by it! I cannot believe that so many variations in reedmaking can produce 'similar' (i.e. getting a 'good' sound and response from the oboe) results.

Happy reedmaking!

Rachel
