Emmanuel Danan is solo English-Horn of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, member of the Boulez Ensemble, and currently plays as freelancer in the Rundfunksinfonieorchester Berlin and the Junge Philharmonie Berlin.

This German reed template is the result of 10 years of teaching experience in reedmaking as the assistant of Prof. Gregor Witt in the HMT Rostock and the Barenboim-Said Academy.

Background Information

Emmanuel Danan prefers a cane thickness of 0.55–0.58 mm (soaked) and a hardness of 9–11 for the production of his reeds. He uses the following shaper forms: WITT, THOM, RC13, or similar.

Settings and Processing

For optimal preparation the #DNAN template should be aligned with the center line on the template positioning ruler. The scrape length should be 10–10.5 mm. The reed is placed on the tongue until the tip sits exactly on the marked line. The hook should be placed so the reed is aligned with the middle line on the hook.
Adjust the thickness of the reed so that the tip is 0.10–0.11 mm and the middle of the back of the reed is 0.50 mm thick. If you like a thinner back, you can adjust the hook position to produce a thickness of 0.47 mm.

Fine Tuning

For improved playability and a balanced sound of the instrument, you can make the following adjustments to your reed:

If there is too much tension on the back of the reed after profiling, carefully warm up the cane above the staple and massage the tension away.
