English Horn Reeds
Optimal tip length for differing situations
The course is designed for students with little reed making experience who want to start making their own English Horn reeds, as well as for professionals who want to improve their reed making.
Michael Höfele will discuss and demonstrate how changing the tip length can optimize your reeds for various situations.
You are also welcome to bring along finished or semi-finished reeds
for individual questions.
