<< Is it possible to learn reed making from just a book, or do I need a human to help teach me?>>
Possible and certainly worthwhile to familiarize yourself with reed-making theory from books, videos, websites
Essential to have experienced human to help you with the actual doing of it
ask oboe teacher to show you, or if not skilled there, refer you to someone who is, or maybe oboe specialist at northwest music, prussin or long & mcquade in vancouver can help connect you with somebody out where you live, it takes more than a few lessons
don't get into bundles of tube cane, splitting, gouging etc. right now, start with ready-to-tie cane, just getting good tools for this part of the process is expensive enough
also, do some online price & quality comparisons on ready-to-tie cane, don't get pro quality cane or other cane priced likewise for learning curve wastage
