Great video. Great illustrations of the various cane problems.

Nice work, Robin. the only danger I can see is that you are going to make gouger adjustment so matter-of-fact that we are going to be obliged to practice.

I have that sharpening stone! Purchased it in the late 70’s when I was first learning oboe. Never realized how good it was.

Use a wood plaque and sharpen a whole lot less!
@robindriscoll3 жыл бұрын
I believe that a wooden plaque would need to be too thick to give enough support. That is why I do not believe in using contoured plaques. This would weaken the sides of the reed. Having a sharp knife is so important in applying any sophisticated scrape on an oboe reed. This method of using a steel rod to dress the edge of the knife is not the same as sharpening a dull knife. That is a different video.

@@robindriscoll I disagree. The flat plaque flattens the arch of the cane, causing the knife to scrape thinner along the sides and spine. The contoured plaque supports the arch, allowing the knife to cut down the center of the channel more deeply than the edges or spine. But this choice is a function of reed and scraping styles, and, like so many so many reed making choices comes with time and experience. Ultimately you do what works best for you, and I only throw it out because of tie time I save. I can make 3 0r 4 reeds before resharpening, and still have a thin, clean chip off my knife, using a wooden plaque...

Does anyone know if this cleverly designed "fillotine" still requires a pre-gouger before use, or does the fillotine itself function as a pre-gouger?
@robindriscoll3 жыл бұрын
Hi. The Fillotine functions as the guillotine and pre-gouger. However, it is not a scoop cut. It planes the cane flat. The Opus1 blade is around Rockwell 60 and is tempered to be quite rugged. The Opus1 is a double radius Gouger. It relies on the guide functioning during the cut. The cutting characteristics are altered if the cane is previously scooped out by a curved pre-gouger. I am going to have more material on how the blade and guide work together to create the final gouge curve on the website this summer. Thanks for visiting the site and posting a question.

Many thanks for clarifying! Both the fillotine and the Opus 1 gouger look fantastic, and the reviews from other oboists are thoroughly positive! This is clearly an outstanding piece of engineering that has been designed with the oboist in mind! Wonderful job!

don’t think the body should be that far out...was it crashed or something?
@robindriscoll3 жыл бұрын
I did have a crash. I traded-in my probe body for a new one from Renishaw and it all works fine now.

Hello, did you manage to solve this problem? I also encounter this problem and I can't find a solution

I did have a crash with the probe and ended up doing a trade-in with Renishaw. It works great now.
