Thanks,

I especially like the point to play on the reeds for a few days and then adjust gradually..............

I do this .... it always a temptation to rush the process along... and most of the time it never works out well in the end.

One must be persistent and patient.

Day 1 tie the reeds

Day 2 to scrape to open

Day 3 be able to play a crude reed

Day 4 and/or 5 refine the tone and attributes of the reed

Day 6 adjust ....... refine tone, pitch stability, flexibility

Day 7 and more ...... the reed beaks in and ... with a few more (hopefully minor) adjustments a concert quality reed or at least a good back up for rehearsal and home practice.

The cane must settle a bit .... and the saliva also changes the reed.

If the reed starts off really really bad by day 4 .... I just throw it away.

Mark
