 Re: How do I scrape the windows?

Drew...

If you do not one ... get a back light ..... place the reed in front and see the transparency of the windows especially in relationship to the heart.

You will be able to judge over time what you need to do - how much to scrape.

This is quite different from just "crowing". I feel you still need to visually inspect the reed as well .... both through the cane as well as the surface. I also use a needle micrometer to measure the thickness of the tip surface. Even with a back-light and visual inspection at times it hard to tell the evenness/thickness of the tip.

As for the scraping of the back ... I feel its pretty straight forward. Just determine what length you desire them to be.... depending upon the tonal characteristics and pitch of the reed.
