If you have a group who would like to spend
the day covering reedmaking, adjustments and technique, please contact
me. Full or half day clinics can be arranged around my playing
schedule.
Book
Principles
and Techniques of
Oboe Reed Adjustment
$29.95 A manual dedicated
specifically to the adjustment of reeds. Rather than a reed-style/reed-making
guide, the adjustment book focuses on analyzing the reeds you make and getting
them closer to the end product you seek. It includes all the factors
that effect reeds and knife-technique information necessary to affect the changes you want.
There is also a chapter on high-altitude reeds. Already used at USC
and in a number of libraries, it could contain that one missing piece
of information to help your finished reed success rate to skyrocket!
