Just a quick note today. I’ve posted my first Reed Repair Shop video, along with my FOURTH short Five Minute Reedmaker reed lesson. My goal is to help people who feel insecure about their reeds, people who need just a little more clarity on certain aspects of reed making, and people who ARE reed makers but have gotten themselves into a slump in some way.
Reed Repair Shop #1: Anthony’s reeds are pretty good! They work, they play in tune, and they look like reeds. His stated concerns were tone and response, and I think I was able to offer some good suggestions.
watch Anthony’s video HERE or below.
Would you like me to look at YOUR reeds? Check out my offering HERE.
My fourth Five Minute Reedmaker video is a walkthrough of winding – the process by which the cane is attached to the staple.
Let me know what you’d like to see me cover on a future episode!
Thanks for your vids, Jennet! They are good reviews for me and a good resource for my students, as well as perhaps some new ideas for those of us who are 'somewhat old enough' to get stuck in a rut occasionally. Very helpful
I'm so glad to hear that these feel helpful – thanks for commenting!
