You’ll get a fairly good close up of a non-American scrape reed. Is this a German scrape, maybe?
Rodrigo Nagamori:
Anyone want to fill me in on what he’s saying? And does it say where he plays?

It could be German scrape, it looks like it. They look like this: http://www.das-oboenrohr.de/images/oboenrohr_schulz.jpg
I don’t know if it’s really called “German scrape” though, I use them too and I’m dutch, but not everyone around here uses them, about a year ago I had reeds where the scraped part was much longer. And the book I have about how to make these reeds is in German, so I guess it comes from Germany originally.
It could be I’m calling them “German” because a friend of mine who uses them says he learned the scrape in Germany. Who knows?! I know ours can be called “long scrape” or “American scrape” and that there are actually at least two variations of “our” scrape.
I have some reeds from China, and I would love to find out if anyone can really play on them, or if they are like the horrible machine made things they sell at music stores here. I can’t get one sound out of them, they are so thick!
Ah reeds … such a curse! (For me, anyway.)
I Googled Rodrigo Nagamori and it looks like the group he plays with is in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Of course I should have done that, Bill … I’m even lazier than usual these days! Oh dear ….
