Is that a general rule for a U-scraped reed, to scrape more out of the sides? It was so disconcerting when I was told, "more out of the sides, more out of the sides!" when it is ingrained in my head to avoid the rails at all cost!!! Is leaving on more spine important in a U-scraped reed?
I've not really experimented with degrees of half-hole, as I have enough trouble with just closed, half and open!
Unfortunately I am not close to NY but yes, I do want to use his type of reed when I get my own instrument. If anything, at least his shaper, as I'm not too fond of shaping by eye!
