 Re: Tip Scraping Technique

I like the drawings and I'm sure Cooper's reeds are the better for the change.

I've had difficulty lately, being SUCH a good 'tip-scraper', of making the tip too thin, resulting in a chirp especially in the higher notes. I was following written advice that 'you can never make the tip too thin' but this thread and experience are proving otherwise.

The secret of course is in the ratio and taper resulting in a perfectly vibrating reed: that all the parts work together to let the cane MOVE while maintaining some stability.

I like the fact that most every reed-maker on this board is ready to get Better and Grow.
