So I'll continue on this thread since it's here. I had a couple pieces of shaped cane lying around so I thought I'll see if my now-sharp knife can make a reed.
So....yes. But since I'm basically a beginner again because not having a sharp knife made it impossible to accomplish anything, I have a question. I ended up with a reed that crows ok, two octaves, but....if I peep it on the tip as if I were playing, it has an extremely high pitched squeak and you can imagine what it sounds like in the oboe. If I put my lips farther down than they should be, the sound is better but still shrieky. So I'm wondering if maybe the tip has little cracks in it I can't see, or what. So I'm asking the "what" here. It's still the only reed I've ever made, out of probably 100+ tries, that I actually got to the point of a recognizable double C crow. Input? Yes I know you can't teach reed making over the internet but maybe someone will recognize that shriek/squeak and tell me what's up. It's not resistant and the crow is on pitch. It has a tip, a heart, a back, a spine, and rails. Under the light it looks to be even with itself.
