When scraping reeds always do the following to insure a more successful outcome:<\/p>\n
1. Be mindful of how you scrape by taking your time and carefully observe.<\/p>\n
2. If you are a right-handed scraper: work left to center, then right to center. \u00a0Never scrape the center of the reed directly.<\/p>\n
3. Use the sharpest part of the blade.<\/p>\n
4. Watch where the cane is curling on the knifes edge as it gives you indication as to where you are scraping on the reed.<\/p>\n
5. Use the majority of the knifes blade, except for the very tip and the very heal, until evenly dull.<\/p>\n
6. Measure multiple times.<\/p>\n
7. Make reeds in groups to monitor and control scraping patterns.<\/p>\n
8. Check the profile of the reed frequently, especially at the beginning stages.<\/p>\n
9. Work towards balancing all four quadrants with each other: left with right as well as back to front.<\/p>\n
10. Use a plaque when working on the upper half of the reed.<\/p>\n
