Hi Ron, I recently started watching your content. As an oboe player that is always struggling with the finishing touches of a reed is always eager to see someone’s else’s process. Your explanation and dedication to educate what your process is to us is wonderful. Hopefully you’ll consider making a video on this. Thank you .
Do you have a video or something online somewhere of what you track in your reed journal? I’d be really interested in seeing how you do yours. Thanks for making great content!!
Hello Ron, i´m the guy who sent you the article about jazz oboe playing, what do you think about reedmaking machines (profilers) do they work as well as they work with european reeds?
Good question! I have a profiling machine and I think it works well. I want to have a custom template though because right now it's not doing exactly what I want. As far as how effective they are compared to European reeds, I just don't know.
i was trying to make a flute out of some bamboo i found and figured i would need a reed despite not knowing what that was and after watching this video i don't think ill be making a flute... like damn didn't expect it to be so complicated
Here is a question for you, I have seen advertisements ok synthetic reeds, especially for double cane reeds! I can’t image using them but, it shows the students to be more repetitive in their sound, so they don’t really sound like a duck one day and a Wooster the next🤣 Are they something that should even be considered? Have you ever thought to show a comparison video between your making a cane versus the synthetic reeds out there?
