I let the Reeds Dry Out AT LEAST 2 Days. Sometimes Even Longer, waiting 2 WEEKS!

And It’s Time to Choose the REED OUTFIT.

The Threads Add Weight to the End of the Reed. Saving the Delicate Tip in Case it is Dropped. YIKES! Here I wrapped with two contrasting thread colors.

LET’S DIG IN!

  1. Thank you for these videos. I now feel like I can finally try making my own reeds. I am wondering if you have written instructions anywhere. I’m mostly looking for the specific measurements you use.

    Thank you so much!
