 Re: Reed books

David Webber's Reed Makers Manual was the breakthrough text for me, oh-so-many years ago. Today, my reeds are entirely different.

David Webber's book does not show you multiple variants of the same thing. Instead, it describes, in great and exhaustive detail, one method for making a reed that will work every time. It covers everything from gouging to the finishing touches of the scrape. The illustrations are simple and excellent.

I would add to this book Martin Schuring's superb Reed Diagram and then call it pretty much perfect.

P.S., if you are at all interested in short-scrape reeds, I can recommend Linda Walsh's DVD.
