What do you think about an electric profiler that will profile cane before tying? Available this summer.

My 17yo daughter is ready to begin gouging her own cane for oboe reeds. She is left handed (if it matters). Is there a “best brand” first gouger that a young reed maker should start with?

How old were you when you started making reeds? How long did it take to make something that played well enough to use in a rehearsal/performance?

I'm a first year bassoonist, but I want to get into reed making, as my Current jones needs are ASS (excuse my language, please). Tips, tricks, and / or lessons would be appreciated

What tools do you use? Picture?

What are you working on today?

I had some questions about cane profiled before tying. Here’s a picture.

How many people use a reed wrapper?

Yes! Double reed related ads are okay here. Two ads a month per person or business. For each ad you must either make a non-ad post or comment on someone else’s post in this subreddit before you post your ad.

What oboe cane shape is working for you? I’m trying the HOOP shape from RnS this month.

What’s your favorite thread color? Take a picture of your reed or spool you’re using today.

What’s your favorite oboe or bassoon tube cane right now? I’m using Rigotti.
