Bassoon Reed Making: Forming

[@thewhisperkey6956]

Wow- really great video and excellent instructional narration! Thank you for sharing this high quality content! I'm considering trying some of these techniques- do I interpret correctly- are you able to almost entirely eliminate cracking [into the blade] with your GSP setup and this forming method? I'm thinking specifically of what you said at approximately 6:43 timestamp. If your reeds are relatively crack-less after forming- that's amazing and I can't wait to try some of these new ideas! Thanks again and regardless, wishing you many great reeds!
