Forming a Mummy

In the video below, I will be showing the basic process for forming a mummy from GSP cane. This is a very important step in making a reed blank; there are very important things to be aware of when doing this process.

Materials involved for this process:

Water

Yarn (dry)

Gouged, Shaped, and Profiled cane (GSP)

Forming Mandrel

Pliers

Wire (I prefer 24gauge german brass wire for bassoon)

Scissors (for cutting the yarn)


I am using Danzi SVH shaped cane in this video.
