I'm not a mummy-man and am thinking of making a video about what I do instead. I KNEW you had a clear and concise mummy video! But I'm curious, why leave the reed wrapped for the duration of the drying process? It would seem that the string would impede drying, but possibly, the cotton may shrink as it dries, adding pressure to keep the tube round. Thoughts?
Hello. I was trying to search 'basdoon cane blank splitting into theblafe' and found your video. Could my cane be gougedttoo thick as it splits into the blade dvery time. I have soaked and resoaked and formed using boiling water but it still splits. I noticed your reeds seem to be gouged a bit thinner. Could this be the problem? Thankyou
Wondering how you profile cane. I use my own design. The elliptical profiler. www.forrestsmusic.com/profilers.htm This machine always makes a crescent shape center to side which is adjustable from .003" to .010". Can profile bassoon or contra cane.
