It is interesting how "brutal"(very exadurated) she is able to scrape the reed. In my expericence, european or german style reeds are much harder to scrape, because they are more delicate(because you only scrape the first centemeter of the reed). If you do one mistake there, the reed is pretty much wasted, while american reeds can be still adjusted and saved, therefore more easy to scrape.
Thank you very much for all videos on your channel. I am trying to make reeds for my daughter. Wrapping is ok, basic scrape is also not bad. But after basic scrape my reed is too open. May be you can tell how to make the tip of the reed more closed?
Reed tip closure depends mostly on the diameter of the tube cane selected. A larger diameter makes a Reed with a thinner opening. If you want to adjust the opening, you can put wire on the vast of the cane and squeeze it
Has more to do with cane diameter before wrapping; use cane with a wider diameter to get a more closed reed. Dont underestimate the power of cane selection, it will make your life a lot easier!
Try different kinds see what you like, I use the cheapest cane I can find and people are always asking for some since they find it "vibrant" but I think its more about sorting after splitting
The image shown at :40 is from Dr. Delaplain's reedmaking book, "My Kingdom for a Reed." You can buy the book at Forrests, Midwest Musical Imports, or Edmund Nielsen Woodwinds.
The CROW is an AWFUL sound to have to listen to unless you're completely psychologically prepared and know it's coming. It sounds a thousand times more grating than finger nails being scratched across a blackboard.
The unsealed reed with the plaque flying is hilarious. They should have added a pissed cat meow and a ton can garbage falling sound

i use the counting method on the scraping
Oboe reeds sound like high pitch party horns.
My Dad used to make oboe reeds (he taught woodwinds at a university). I remember the cackle being MUCH louder than that.

Check out our new video on adjusting the reed. It answers this very question!
