An excellent book, which describes in great detail all the stages of reedmaking, from the choosing of the cane to the finished product. Using clear illustrations and helpful tips in solving problems which can arise, this guide helps take the 'mystery' out of reedmaking. Making a good oboe reed is no longer a matter of luck.

... A well-organised method, supported by clear illustrations and precise measurements, make this manual a very helpful tool in producing good reeds. I have rarely seen such exact specifications for processing reed cane, arising from the desire to achieve more predictable results, rather than leaving things to chance. Using this book can make reedmaking fun!
