- Making English horn reeds is MOSTLY just like making oboe reeds. Here are some of the details that make them different:
How to use your oboe mandrel to wind an EH reed
Measurements and structures of an EH reed
How and why to put wire on
How and why to put tubing on the end

Wonderful Jennet! Your videos always provide valuable insights! I hope more and more players get to know about you and your amazing contributions to our field of playing and reed making!
I'm so glad- thank you so much!
Thank you Jennet so much your videos are amazing and so helpful.
Dean Bard thanks for watching! I’m glad these are helpful!
Outstanding videos, Jennet!! I personally find that EH reeds are much easier to make in comparison to oboe reeds. BTW, I can highly recommend the Chudnow EH staples.
Weihan Xingqi I completely agree! I love the Chudnow tubes.
These are great tips. I'm still trying to teach myself how to make oboe reeds, but my EH is next! This little video will help enormously and I will be able to cut to the chase (pun intended).
So glad to hear it! Best of luck to you!
Super helpful!
I'm so glad!
Do you play your EH reeds with the twisted long piece of the wire on the bottom or top?
Great question! I have another video somewhere where I talk about this... I play with it on the top, so I cut the lower blade away from the wire. But I don't think the position of the wire matters, as long as you know where your lower blade is.
This may be a silly question but are you using the same plaque for EH reeds as for scraping oboe reeds?
Not a silly question! Yes...but... You might recall from my Plaques video that I use a super skinny plaque for oboe reeds. The edges of those wear down very fast, and they get razor sharp. When I move to EH reeds, sometimes those sharp edges will slice the sides of my reed, because the wider reed surrounds the plaque a little more - so I choose newer plaques OR thicker plaques when I'm going to be working on EH reeds.
For the poor mans mandrel does the English Horn tube rest on the cork? So could I use an oboe staple that has no cork?
I should have been more clear. The cork is irrelevant- the EH staple shouldn’t touch it. You can remove it altogether.
Sorry..... But....... I like cor anglais
That...feels like not a thing to apologize for.
@@JennetIngle oh I meant it as a joke
Why hurry five minutes? fifty minutes is better!!!
You may spend as much time as you like making reeds! I won't stop you.
