I make every reed as if it was for me! I work on every reed over several days. I believe in working slowly on a reed, scraping cane little by little, wetting and drying the reed so that the cane settles in. I never create a reed in one sitting, which can produce unpredictable reeds. I like to make sure that every reed is a stable reed that I can play on, in the chamber, solo and orchestra setting. My reeds play freely with very little air, soft dynamics with a guitarist, and play with a lot of air, as is needed to project in an orchestra.
