We're in an exceptionally dry period even for here (Denver, CO) and I've had endless trouble recently making reeds (from pre-gouged Krebs cane) with them...
I had problems making reeds when I first moved to Boulder, Colorado about six years ago. I found that it was the type of cane that I was using. After trying...
About reedmaking in dry conditions, it can be surprising how *quickly* the cane dries out. Rather than make one reed at a time I would make a few, and resoak...

My theory is that cane changes in curious ways as it ages. I believe that it has something to do with the bark hardening and becoming brittle. As the bark is...

Dear Listers, A good friend of mine is an amateur baroque oboist, and she has fallen in love with the baroque bassoon. She wonders if it is possible to play...
