Goal: more stability, more strength, more resistance
Plan: The suggestions for finer work that follow in the model will help you make steeper tapers overall for strength and stability. You’ll work mostly in the front third of the reed toward the rails and very tip (according to the quality of the cane and the reed’s natural break-in period). A proper tip bevel, structured thumbnail, spine to rail proportions and symmetrical corners of the tip are crucial.
